Congrats on your prize! Clever play on 20/20 vision--rather, the lack thereof, hence devoid of reason as you say Missed this release--glad I caught-up. Cheers LIZ

This work has reached the exceptional level

Superb social commentary in this 5-7-5 write, Ameen. Clever sustained metaphor with the double meaning of twenty twenty. This pandemic like other natural disasters is a great leveler. Hopefully it will bring us to our senses so that we make good use of the resources God has given us.

Good luck in the contest.

Stay safe and healthy and blessed my friend.

Unfortunately, our current reactions to the pandemic prove how myopic we are. Your 5-7-5 sadly summarizes our complete lack of vision. Best wishes in the contest and for future clarity- Joan

Well we tried, but it's not an easy thing this reasoning stuff. It's a lot more complicated than anyone knew.

Excellent thought provoking entry into the contest Kamran and I wish you much luck with the committee. :)

I like how in your poem you have made a connection between our current year and the standard for measuring vision - then pointing out that mankind lacks vision and reason, sadly all too true.

I think this pandemic is forcing plenty people to see clearly. The irony of the year to vision. Exceptionally written work. Well thought out. Clearly and creatively written. Also, you met the syllable count requirements. Good luck. God bless you :)
