The Pandemic's Pros

Frank Zappa once said, "Sometimes you have to get ill to start feeling better"

That's how the virus helped planet Earth, it helped us reunite with her

We couldn't go outside, we had to find other things to do

We got time to study and exercise, but we still stuck to our screens too.

People called their parents and clapped for their doctors

And were grateful once again.

The world needs things like this, but they rarely ever occur.

We stopped exploring nature, forget using cars

But nature got a chance to bloom, and you could see it in the stars.
