guys, so, there's this video. but i can't show it to you since my mum sent it to me, but it's basically a poem that the channel "Probably Tomfoolery"ย wrote. i really wanted to share it.
DISCLAIMER: NOT MY POEM.ย
Here is the link if you want to watch the video:ย
pls read it, it's very interesting!
a dad is telling a bedtime story to his son.
"The story starts before then,
in a world I once would dwell.
It was a world of waste and wonder,
of poverty and plenty.
Back before we understood,
why hindsight's 2020.
You see, the people came up with companies
to trade all across the lands.
But they swelled and got much bigger
than we ever could have planned.
We'd always have our wants,
but now, it got so quick.
You could have anything you'd dreamed of,
in a day, and with a click.
We noticed families had stopped talking.
That's not to say they never spoke.
But the meaning must have melted,
and the work life balance broke.
And the children's eyes grew squarer,
and every toddler had a phone.
They filtered out the imperfections,
but amidst the noise, they felt alone.
And every day the skies grew thicker,
till you couldn't see the stars.
So we flew in planes to find them
while down below, we filled our cars.
We'd drive around all day in circles.
We'd forgotten how to run.
We swapped the grass for tarmac,
shrunk the parks till there were none.
We filled the sea with plastic,
because out waste was never capped.
Until, each day, when you went fishing,
you'd pull them out already wrapped.
And while we drank, and smoked, and gambled,
our leaders taught us why, it's best to not upset the lobbies,
more convenient to die.
But, then, in 2020,
a new virus came our way.
The government reacted, and told us all to hide away.
But while we all were hidden,
amidst the fear and all the while,
the people dusted off their instincts,
they remembered how to smile.
they started clapping to say thank you,
and calling up their mums.
And while the car keys gathered dust,
they would look forward to their runs.
And with the skies less full of voyagers,
the earth began to breathe.
And the beaches bore new wildlife,
that scuttled off into the seas.
Some people started dancing,ย
some were singing, some were baking.
We'd grown so used to bad news,ย
but some good news was in the making.
And so when we found the cure,
and were allowed to go outside,
we all preferred the world we found to the one we'd left behind.
Old habits became extinct and they made way for the new.
And every simple act of kindness was now given it's due.
We now call it The Great Realisation,
and yes, since then, there have been many,
But that's the story of how it started,
and why hindsight's 2020."
