The Contrasting Faces of Corvid-19
Kenneth J. Janssen 1933 (St. Louis, Mo.)
You masked our identities, but you gave us self-awareness.
You tore our society apart, but you brought us together.
You held us prisoners, but you freed our spirits.
You upset our daily lives, but you gave us ingenuity.
You took our jobs, but you gave us viable alternatives.
You locked us down, but you freed our souls.
You ruined our economy, but you unleashed our improvisation.
You complicated our lives, but you unleashed our inventiveness.
You clouded our futures, but lit up our hope.
