Word of 2021
Enlightenment Torch: Learning and growing through being isolated in our homes, and still having the opportunity to go into shops and walks while wearing a face mask on. It has been the year of being in Tier 3 of lockdown that has taught us to reflect on our future and to what we can achieve during this time. Since 2020, people have become aware of the issues of equality since the Black Lives Matter protest after the death of George Floyd and what we can do to push society forward by educating ourselves on these matters.
As we go into 2021, we hope that there is a solution to the virus, the political system across the world. This we lead the people of the world to feel optimistic that change is happening in the action by the governments. A time will come when we can be relaxed and certain of what direction we are going in during the pandemic without going down a constant spiral of what we could have done as a society. It is important as going into this year that we think about the looking after our mental health. A new chapter of everyone reuniting back in society and yet the process will be slow.

Are we still having the same conversation?
People who do not see, the
torch surpasses rivers, streams, and waters.
In chaotically stranded isolations in this
filling reality.
In and Out, in a never-ending tape,
extends to streets, roads, boroughs, and districts.
The turmoil of where violence takes,
amidst the darkness.
in minds met by truth.
Torch that sees through blurred articles.
and caged defences,
future’s we had and have
the torch that sees through
this old-new world.
