Something has changed in the world; I don’t know why
The earth has shifted underneath the sky
The pandemic is over but its aftermath is not
A better world, contrary to what we had thought
The old world order, business as it used to be
Has changed in the last three years completely
The abundance that we had for granted taken
Is no longer there, with supply chains shaken
We are increasingly growing accustomed to scarcity
Of various goods, along with a teetering economy
Inflation increasing; workforce shrinking, I shake my head
In bewilderment, unable to understand the forces that have led
To the perfect storm in which life these days
Seems more difficult in innumerable small ways
A war that I cannot wrap my head around
Disasters leading to looses profound
We were in the frying pan of a raging pandemic from where
We ‘ve landed in a cauldron of fires being stoked everywhere…
*
We knew COVID would change everything, but did not know
That the world would change in unthinkable ways so…
Passion...unbridled
