All Worries Will Suddenly Disappear

 moving forward ...

In 2020, COVID-19 has destroyed and paralyzed economies & decimated industries

Little were spared; saved for medical services, health care and medical supplies

There were moments when time stopped, emotions were erratic & spirits low  

The air was still, the surroundings were hollowed-out & people were 'caged in'

The usual crowd disappeared, shopping malls were emptied & 'ghost towns' abound

Fear not as this is the deliberate lull forced on mankind

Stay home-bound, masked up or risks your life; the choice is clear

Covid does not discriminate; life is fleeting when Covid hits & the sun may never rise on you

Infection spreads readily amongst crowds & coughing, sputum, saliva are potent spreaders and the virus is air-borne 

It's a global threat - but when Man is "caged-in", Nature recovers

Tomorrow will be better ...provided Man is reformed

The earlier Man refrains from destroying Nature & be compassionate, the earlier is salvation

No man's an island & time is borrowed

Globalization became a strange word when countries "lock down"

A new normal shall emerge ...alas! Guess, it's another six months

The future is an eCommerce world where 30% of what you are doing now races through the eThoroughfare

Brick & motor only slow down the processes when algorithms decipher & decode the situation

Man's choices will soon be digitalized & EQ will be scarcer

There is no need to spend long hours at work as AI, robots & technologies routinise work

But, what good do free hours offer to mankind; leisures

Don't give up; it's a little lonely but you're not alone

Need not despair as jobs disappear because AI-machines replace Man

Take life easier as more leisure become available & your meal tickets are good for the year

Develop the mind & ease your body into better health

Empty is not void 

 

2020 - is a year to stay alive and healthy

Any excess is a bonus while you wait patiently and sanely until the ceasement resumes

Do not be driven into despair by your own unregulated speed

When it affects everyone, it's everyone's problems, not yours

When the virus menace is over, the world can returns back to normal

 

 

 

Live In Harmony As Evils Are Rooted Out Of Earth

 be happy, come what(ever) may ...

There has been a truce from COVID for a while

Many businesses are attempting to make a return but social distancing and restrictions on gathering are hampering recovery

Some have grown fat whilst many sit by to watch life passes by

It's not much of a choice when the fear of infections is real & the authorities are unsure

 

There is no "one solution that fits all"; opening up again to all locals is just the first step

Without effective & accountable leadership, the task force will continue its rudderless journey

Many say its not easy to government but nobody was forced to take the luxuriously paid jobs

If the kitchen is too hot, get out

I am sure there are many suitably qualified persons who are willing to do the job with a heart, care & share and at half the price, paper qualifications aside

When & during calamities, money helps but is not a solution to the many problems which are about survival

The world has plentiful to go around if not for hoarding

Hunger & frustration is not about shortages but caused by unequal distributions

Without "care & share", coupled with greed & self entitlement, many suffer 

Leave the selfish & elite out and much could be harvested & distributed; harmony returns

GOD is fair; those who are magnanimous and righteous shall be rewarded & saved in due course

2020 is a year to seek sustainability, safety and good health, not to be recklessly adventurous

Stockmarket - financial markets, boosted by liquidity, will end the year losing half its peak's gain - only a steadfast hand can manoeuvre its volatility

Gold should close the year above $2,000 & it's not surprising to see US$/S$ trading under 1.35

What's the use of money if money can't buy necessities & basic commodities, including food? Inflation shall rear it's head as shortages fire up panic demands

There is no need to worry too much about global giants sabre-rattling as those with nukes need  to be level & sound minded

Any accidental wars are going to be settled with nukes to draw to an amicable close

US + EU versus China + Russia + Iran are the most potent explosive combination

India, Japan, Taiwan & Eastern Europe are surrogate grounds for weapons testing  

An upsurge of mutated COVID virus is gonna upend the truce that the world seemed to be enjoying 

Do not throw caution to the winds; wear masks, keep ample distance and stay safe

Cautionary - Store some food and water, not hoard, in case the uneventful happens

Death is not scary but extended period of uncertainties wear off the Souls

When the globe goes into a convulsion, Man(kind)'s days are limited

Deaths angels don't discriminate between races, religions and creeds

Be humble, magnanimous & spare some for the less-abled and less fortunate 行善

The wicked, selfish, dishonorable, scheming...shalt end as GOD's dish out their dues

And the world will becomes a pleasant place again as Nature coexist harmoniously with Man/Human

The Future Is Bright

 the future is fog...

Life is as uncertain as ever & nothing's clear

Covid, trade wars, sabre-rattling & military gamesmanship, greed, misinformation, anger, fear & fear mongering, ignorance, apathy

Every new cycle in life gets more dynamic and dramatic

The crowded Earth makes matters worse

Why must US go around destroying other countries like Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan & create storms in SCSeas? Their banditry must stop

British, Portugal, France...western powers are all the same - conquer, loot, 'scorched the Earth' strategy & retreat

The ports in Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, the Philippines ...were returned to local administrations  

Asia, after the year 2000, became ruled by Asians as Macau returned to China - the 21st Century is the Asian Century

October - the last quarter of the year where more changes are expected; for the better or worse

2020 will go into history as the year that the world's businesses stopped & the people quarantined

Many "IMPOSSIBLEs" became possible - countries locked down, planes were grounded/clipped, people were quarantined, commerce stalled, eCommerce & teleconferencing flourished, Mother Earth gained a breather

F&Bs, travels, hotels, airlines, cruises, hospitality services - were decimated whilst non-essential & non-urgent medical treatments were shelved

The world needs to slow down and fend for each other instead of fight against each other

Together there will be more to share

Divided, the house of cards will collapse

 

Where have the brains and logic of politicians gone? Law of Comparative Advantage & Law of Competitive Advantage are thrown into the dumps

Well. well...the greed & ignorance of politicians & the wealthy will cause anarchy

The island of rich cannot live in a continent of poors

Poverty is not caused by wealth creation but wealth hoarding; there is enough to go around if everyone shares 

What does the future holds? Plentiful & positive

If the rich hoards wealth & hunger prevails to all and sundries, there will be rebellion for want of survival; the need to eat to survive

If there are compassion & care, the world will be a happier place to live

Everyone knows "from dusts to dusts"; you came naked & shalt return naked...& alone

Either you care & share or the deprived will fight to survive; the former is less likely

After destruction, it's reconstruction ...& only the finer Souls will survive

What will destroy half the world's population? Not Covid but an accidental war that escalate into nukes exchange - a war to end all wars

I'm not bleak nor negative but ultimately 该来的已经在路上 there is no cure for stupidity

2020 will close with a blip - uneventful - if only we survive
