The punishment seems to be never-ending
The coronavirus is not breaking, just bending
The biggest shape-shifter around
The mutating virus takes the crown
For creating upheaval to an extent not previously seen
The world wars, cold war, plague, Spanish flu have been
Overshadowed by the noise coronavirus had generated
Humankind is smarter than before, but the virus cannot be underestimated
Evading treatments, and trying to escape
Efficacious vaccines, transforming the landscape
Of travel, business, social interactions and more
Even a world that looks different than before
Cannot keep up with the mutating virus devious
Each version smarter at propagation than the previous
*
How the pandemic will end, and when, we don’t know
It seems the virus is determined to show
Our limitations as human beings on the earth
To demonstrate what a submicroscopic organism is worth
Passion...unbridled 
This stuff is just not going away. But it sounds like so many people are getting boosters, so I hope that’s a good sign to contain this.
