We Learned To Upcycle, Recycle, Reuse
Utilise All The Goods We Have Already Used
Left Lying Around
We Had No Way Of Replacing, Repairing
What Was Broken, Battered, Damaged, Hit In A Fall
What Were We To Do
We Looked At What We Had To Work With
And Created, Invented
Made “The One” New Again But In A Very Different Way
Isn’t This What Is Being Asked Of Us Today
To Turn Our Lives Around
Our Lives Which Have Been Turned
Inside Out, Upside Down
A New Challenge, A Way Of Changing What’s Been Taken Away, Damaged,Battered Broken, Hit With The Fall
Our Lives, Our Hope’s, Our Dreams, Our Fears, Dashed, Displaced
Our Backs Against The Wall
We Are The Thinkers, The Planners, The Doers
The Feelers, The Sharers, The Carers, The Pushthroughers
We Can All Help Each Other To Find Our Way
The New “Normal” Is To Show Up Each Day
And Learn To Thrive, Not Merely Survive
In These Days Of Unprecedented Change.
