Mutating Normalcy

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 Resignation” A housing boom An unstable economy And other societal changes. We search for 2019 Normalcy But the new normal Is that of change. Just as the virus Evolves So must we And adapt to an Ever changing world Of rapid mutation.
