The Pandemic is Over
how interesting
to see it go through the different stages
it starts off
SUPER serious
schools are shut down
death is everywhere
we are afraid
mask up or die
wait a minute
it’s your fault
no, it’s their fault
playing the blame game
turned violent
hate crimes and slurs
this whole thing is a hoax!
watch The Simpsons
you’ll see what i mean
time passes
calm down
death continues
we’re desensitized
but do they still matter?
vaccines and variations
memes and jokes
paninis and panoramas
mask or no mask?
does it even make a difference anymore?
i tested positive 2 days ago
so it must – right?
the pandemic is not over
the pandemic is that we don’t take care of each other
or ourselves
COVID19 is just a symptom

Those last 4 lines. Boom. You nailed it. Great poem.
This poem is such a brilliant commentary on the struggles of these last few years. I agree, your last stanza is amazing!
I second Katrina. This is a great summary of everything we’ve put up with for a couple years now
Excellent analysis of our culture today!
