on the poet? (JUST ME)

Answer:This may help you
Explanation:
Before the pandemic, Tomos Roberts read his poems to crowds around London who, he confesses, were often more interested in what they were drinking than what he was saying. Now, hunkered down and out of work, he’s found a far more attentive audience that stretches around the world — and includes people who haven’t yet reached drinking age.
Roberts’s poem, “The Great Realisation,” was released on YouTube on April 29 and has been viewed tens of millions of times. It has also been translated independently into multiple languages, including Arabic, Hebrew, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Russian. A simple rhyming tale read as a bedtime story, it takes on heavy themes — corporate greed, familial alienation, the pandemic — and somehow comes up with a happy ending. Set in an unspecified future, the poem looks back on pre-pandemic life and imagines a “great realisation” sparked by the scourge.
Roberts, a 26-year-old filmmaker who posts online under the moniker Probably Tom Foolery, narrates the story “Princess Bride” style, to his brother and sister, Cai and Sora, who are both 7. “Tell me the one about the virus again,” a little voice pipes in at the start. As a gentle lullaby sound hums in the background, Roberts tells his listeners about pre-pandemic life — “a world of waste and wonder, of poverty and plenty” — that falls apart when the virus hits, and yet in the end initiates something better: a society in which people are kinder and more mindful, and spend more time outdoors and with their families than on screens or at the office.
