And There Was Light

And there was light.

Light when a cure for the pandemic is found.

Light when isolation no longer exists

Light when social distancing becomes a thing of the past.

Light when our normal returns to normal.

 

Light when our security forces did their jobs

Light when the police is actually our friend.

Light when the youths are employed

Light when vocations are promoted

Light when one million boys are rehabilitated

 

Light when you can move around at 6pm,

Without fear of your phone being snatched.

Light when you can sleep all night,

Without the noise of vigilantes whitsles

Light when our houses are not covered in soot

From burning tyres.

 

The dark is dark

We crave Light.
