Living in what feels like never ending 
tough times. 
Riots and racial tension, a divided nation and racial division-- 
rough times. 
A covid death toll, R.I.P. Chadwick Boseman and Kobe Bryant-- 
sad times. 
Caught up in isolation, divided by the virtual walls of zoom-- 
distressed minds 
One word to describe the current state of mind we feel trapped in: 
hopeless. 
 
Reframe your mind... 
 
Diamonds are shaped by 
pressured time. 
We can either dwell in what separates us or what we have in common-- 
Enemy Mine. 
Take advantage of every moment; we are all on deaths clock-- 
borrowed time. 
Come to face the thoughts you have in isolation that plague 
your mind. 
One word to describe what can free us from the current state of mind we trap ourselves in: choice.
