Covid-19 Pandemic
June 12, 2021
Newscasts and masks
Something of which we did not ask
Sanitize and social distance
This virus could wipe out human existence
We were told quarantine would only last two weeks,
But, we were wrong.
Conflicts with the police and disrupted peace.
Black Lives Matter protests that last long.
Bored with nothing to do.
Can’t get into groups of two
Online learning and discovering that we can cook
Maybe we read a new book.
2021 we hoped and hoped
Vaccines invented quicker than ever
Grieving loses but figuring how to cope.
We survived this pandemic, however.
