The New
Normal
There are those who ask
When will all this be over?
Like fractious children riding in the back
Are we nearly there yet?
When will we able to see the sea?
But things have truly changed
Not always for the better
Not always for the worse
We cannot do as we have done
No longer behave without thinking
Nor set forth without planning ahead
Our campaign is against a hidden foe
That moves silent and invisible
Spreading unseen amongst us
There is no telling where it will move
Until it strikes from nowhere
And takes someone close and dear
Social distance and self-isolation
Do not come naturally
Nor wiping everything we touch
Sanitising every surface
And washing, washing, washing
But things are no longer what they were
This is what the world has now become
So we can only buckle up
And welcome the new normal
