UNHEARD CRIES

Lately it has been kind of hard to get my thoughts together and craft a remarkable piece worth reading, but here I am today, inspired and motivated by some of my peers; by the strides they’ve been making to make the world a better place, the best way they know how. Some with their amazing writing skills, others with their creativity in all forms of Art and others by simply believing that anything is possible and that a journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step.

During this pandemic, we all need someone to lean on, something to destruct us from the new normal and motivation to make it to the other side of all this. The decisions we make now are the key as to how we get through this pandemic. What is worrying is that we’ve got powers making those decisions for us and they are not all in our best interests.

Today I feel for the kids who can’t afford e-learning but are still in competition with those who can, the parents who are trying as much as they can to provide for their families but lockdown has made that impossible, the families who have been rendered homeless by our very own government and to everyone who has felt nothing but oppression due to the set Covid-19 regulations seeing as they seem to benefit the high and mighty. Take heart and cling to the little hope you have left that there is a higher power watching over his people, it might not look like it at the moment but this is not the time to lose faith, your cries will be heard; keeping in mind that religion is the sigh of the oppressed, the heart of a heartless world and the soul of soulless conditions.

Self-preservation is a basic human instinct but we don’t really need that right now. As much as we are observing social distancing, let us not neglect others coz we need each other now more than ever. It’s high time we became more attentive and observant of the ones close to us and those who might have fallen victims to this pandemic one way or the other so as not to miss their Cries for Help. Covid-19 has already claimed lots of lives; let’s not add Covid Induced Depression to the list of worries, at least not when we can do something about it. As Patoranking one said; SPREAD LOVE AND HEAL THE WORLD.
