What Is Changing?

Planet changing, heating up, Seas rising, animals dying, Too many people do not care, Plants and flowers are confused Never sure when to bud or bloom.

World changing, wars raging, People dying, refugees growing, Authoritarians are on the rise, Democracy and freedom, endangered, Populism with myriad false promises.

People changing, social distancing, Hugs and handshakes, disappeared, Many feel isolation and despair, Distorted information, what is true? Previous normalcy may be gone.

Students changing, distance learning, Stuck at home, no socialization, Doctors changing, telemedicine, Patients and colleagues, often dying, Institutions, just not the same.

Adapting, multiplicity of changes, New ways of life to be absorbed Normalcy may be dead and gone, Independent thinking, new currency, Resilience, thriving in survival mode.

Everything is changing, constantly.
