The darkness ascends, a plague drenched in the unknown
A failing worlds flaws so beautifully highlighted.
As a world stand united in the face of adversity, corporation scramble to save their precious empires, alas,
A virus cannot be bribed.

It does not know color of skin.
It does not ask for your wealth status.
It only knows a race called Human....

Is this not perhaps the lesson we should take from this.
That a world united can achieve more than anything describable.

However, I fear that we only exist to survive.
Once the threat has past, and we talk about the ordeal that was the "darkness"
Share our stories on social media, we will hobble to the normal goings of life, where the poor is unseen and corporations continue to extract our every breath.
In memory and in our hearts,
We will know that a world stood united in a lockdown of hope.
As this memory fade, I hope then a smile arise, knowing we united as the human race ...did the impossible.
