Covid gave birth to another
Variant
Two months ago
And now
People are getting sick
The hospitals are full
Covid tests are scarce
Restaurants are empty
And there is a sense
Of panic in the air.
The euphoria of early last year
When the world thought Covid
Would be defeated
Through medical science
Is gone
And in its place
A sense of
Fear and uncertainty.
Covid has made
Everyone aware
Of their own mortality
And shined light
On the importance of;
Physical Health
Mental Health
Family
Work
And Community.
Many of us have reevaluated our lives
And changed our routines
Habits
Jobs
And social life
Leading to
“The Great Quit”
A delivery and housing boom
An unstable economy
And other societal changes.
We search for 2019
Normalcy
But the new normal
Is one of change.
Just as the virus
Evolves
So must we
And adapt to an
Ever evolving world
Of rapid mutation.
