So suddenly: New York 🌆, the "city that never sleeps" is now asleep 🏙 🌒 , all quiet. Paris, the "center of romance♥️ 👨❤️💋👨", lives in echoes. Rome 💒, the "eternal city", is deserted. Disney 🐹 is out of magic. London is caged in silence, the Queen 👵🏻speaks to her people from a hidden room. Mecca 🕌 is empty! Nobody to 'stone the devil'. The Chinese wall ⛩is no longer a fortress. The Great nations are speechless 😷. The developed world 🌎 suddenly on its knees. Churches🕍⛪️, great parks, monuments, stadiums 🏢 are filled with unfilled spaces. The busiest places at present were hitherto the most dreaded: hospitals and cemeteries. The famous football leagues 🏉, the fashion shows👗👠, exotic weddings, festivals all lost to memory. Celebrities 💃🕺have run out of celebrations. Our titles, status and privileged positions are stale 🎩🎓. With all our boastful 'citizenships, we cannot step out of our houses🏚🏡. With all our savings in gold 🔔 and cash, we can only buy food 🍔🍟🍕to eat and toilet papers to take care of the waste. We usually went to watch animals in cages, now animals 🦓🐅🐕 roam our empty streets, watching us in our 'cages'🏚🏘. With our expensive clothes 🧥👖and shoes👡👢, our house clothes 👚👕 and pajamas are the latest fashion. AND despite all these 'oddities'...the world still goes on; the sun 🌝 still shines; the birds 🦅still sing 🎼; our God is still in His Throne👑. When this long night 🌚 finally gets over and a new day 🌕 sets in, let us not forget the lesson of the long night - that the only essential is LIFE 👨👩👧 , the rest are but dispensable prefixes and suffixes - BUSY EMPTINESS. LET'S LIVE OUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST: TO BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS, AND TO PLEASE GOD OUR CREATOR.THIS WORLD IS NOT OURS. ALL IS VANITY💰👗👠👛💍...
