We've spent the last two years
couped up, going crazy.
Safety was the only word!
protection
security
community
looking out for our loved ones.
I'm reminded of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs
and the pyramid of human behaviour.
In one way there has been a devolution of the human species
and we are relegated to the lower rungs of psychological safety
and home security.
Look a little closer though and cherrypick the rung
Family is there, a tick for love
Respect for others and self
In todays world thats been both present
and remarkably absent.
Hell that's not a pandemic issue
that's a human issue.
Try getting higher up that pyramid and you'll run into
a glass ceiling.
The great leveller a pandemic
has destroyed the jobs and worth of talented
denied people ability to help themselves
and others.
charity
who has time for that
its now every man or premier for themselves.
(missed your loved ones?)
and now to top it off
we have a war.
no end in sight
madmen in control.
but wait there's now a mosquito virus
that infects peoples brain
and they die in their sleep.
No cure.
what next?
no internet?
god forbid.
end of the world.
