Illusion

It was just an illusion that we could save the earth by coming together and putting an end to pollution..

But, now we discern that if we don’t interrupt at all, nature can heal itself faster…

It was just a hallucination that we will not be able survive without eating junk food..

However, now that all the fast food restaurants are closed, we are still moving on...

It was just a mirage that we would not be able to work from home and that all the movie stars and celebrities were the real heroes.

Now we realise that they were just entertainers.

We used to be happy when we saw all the animals in the zoo, locked behind bars.

But now that we are stuck inside the four walls of our homes, we are starting to understand how they feel.

It was just a phantom that if all the shopping malls get closed, the world will come to a halt.

But, the earth is still moving on. 

Heavens won’t fall if we stop going to parties or luxurious vacations..

This lockdown has just put a stop on our materialistic and artificial lives.

It has given us time to reflect on our real lives-

Spending time with our families and more importantly, with ourselves. 

This is the time to grow and to self reflect.

We now come to know that it was all just an illusion….
