When this all ends,

I’ll see my friends

and I’ll travel the world

and find each it’s ends.

When this all ends,

I’ll go to a party or two

because there’s so much to do

and I’ll end world hunger 

with an impossible stew.

When this all ends,

I’ll find a cure for cancer

using a magical dancer.

She’ll be a beautiful dancing machine

that doubles as a mood enhancer. 

When this all ends...

I’ll probably stay inside 

because we don’t realize how good we have something until it’s taken away.

We just like the option of not having to stay 

locked up in our houses from day to day. 

So when this all ends...

You can find me in my bedroom.

I think that this piece really captures human nature, especially in the current state of the world. People are always talking about what they will do when COVID finally gives, and in life generally, but for the most part, people only really like having the option of being able to do something. When it is given to them, they tend to take it for granted.
