In Darkness, my world is shrouded.
I am surrounded
By the Fungus and rot of
Division, panic and fear.
It has become hard to see any hope, in my
Future I have doubt.
And yet, in my heart, in my
Minds Eye I know that there is
Beauty all around me.
There is a balance that is beautiful;
Even Funguses and Viruses have their place.
Fear has its place to help avoid danger;
Panic is never good, as from it
REASON Flees. We must not let
It our hope and minds seize.
With our "Knickers in a Knot",
Thoughtfulness and logic are a blot.
Calmness and reason must win the day, else
Panic and fear will have their way.
"Knickers in a Knot"
