If you want to place the blame somewhere
To hold someone accountable, it seems fair
To blame the pandemic that has upended
All lives, led to consequences unintended
May I suggest, then, to pause right here
Acknowledge our frustrations and fears
The last two years challenging have been
In different ways for different folks, we have seen
Of anger and impatience, greater expression
We know times are hard, we should give concession
To those who are hurting, extend grace
Who knows what difficulties they continue to face
Two pandemic weary souls venting their distress
On each other are unlikely to make progress..
But if anger is met with grace and kindness
A path is forged together towards success

So if you come across someone whose emotions are high
Blame the pandemic, to give them some latitude you should try
