The Best Article I Read During Lockdown.

By far the best article I read,

Over the last few months, was the one

Which confirmed all that I already thought.

It neatly put to bed

All counter arguments, so when it had done

Explaining all these things with which I agreed,

I felt it had taught

Me really how to appreciate myself and value

My own ability to think things through,

And come to the same conclusion many others had come to. 

This is the great thing about being on one’s own,

One is alone sufficiently

To stew in one’s point of view

And to seek out, only those who think like you.

One can look through the Hubble,

To another bubble

But the people there may as well be in a different universe

From the one I’m in.

In some ways it makes things worse,

Knowing there’s nothing to be done 

To make such people conform

To my ideas about the way the world is and should be,

But such people will be dead soon,

You see, 

And my ideas will be the norm;

Won’t it be lovely!
