Wasted A Good Crisis?

Don’t Worry; Another One is Already Here

The future is coming again;

Whispering comfort and assurance,

Embracing and holding me close,

Promising once again to the fools

“Behold, all things shall become new”

“Eventually, trust me”.

Reminding that the past has merely passed,

Only to return again to last;

Like flowing waters languished on the river of time,

Floating bubbles of memories into the yonder,

Bursting along the way into nothingness

To wash away the pain, grief, and despair

From sickness, fears, loss, and deaths,

Save for joyful memories of loved ones gone

As loving moments returned of joy

In remembrance of the passing time.

As 2021 retreats into the yonder past,

Leaving trails of broken lives and masked faces,

New covid19 variants have emerged,

Pursued by even more unpromising vaccines.

We long the return to health, freedom, and vacations

Without travel restrictions or contacts tracing

And social distancing,

Social separation be damned;

Back to school beckons,

Real learning cannot be restrained;

Work-from-Home is not homework,

Working remotely separated by distance,

Seems more work with the same or less pay,

And lost jobs departed will never return.

2022 is coming with omicron at the head;

Expect it to arrive with no good leads,

Bringing gifts of other new variants as well.

Omicron and friends, together

Riding on promises of even more vaccines

And grand visions of cure

With illusions of grandeur fixes,

Amidst more pain, grief, and despair

From more sickness, fears, loss, and deaths;

Changes nothing, just repeating

Another cycle;

A good crisis is passing,

Another crisis is already here;

Spinning a new abnormal,

Life shall continue even more abnormal,

Business-as-Unusual becomes the more usual,

Toxic friends shall return.

The unfolding new reality continues to suck;

“Everything is backward. Everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the major media destroy information, and religion destroys spirituality.” — Michael Ellner

Expect the future present to be just as good (or worse) than the past,

Only more of the same shit but better packed.

Omicron heralds the coming of the new;

Why should anyone care?

No longer does it matter anymore to me.

It’s up to each of you;

Embrace the new crisis with the same old you,

Do another 3 things you long for,

Change 2 more habits you dislike

And learn 1 more useless skill;

Grasp 2022 with fresh energy beyond your reach,

Ignite it with great passion in your heart;

Wish you can help others with a little more kindness,

Wish you could spend more time with loved ones and friends,

Wish the beam of light from our hearts stays strong and true

Shining through as the lighthouse for others

Steadfast and steadily

On the sea of time from eternity shore

When crisis after crisis wax and wane

To return once more as in the year before

Where it had first begun.
