Creeping stealth-fully through each month of the year,
Bringing with it a growing amount of fear,
The cold shadow of virus-illness’ darkness
Befall, bringing with it anxiety, and debilitating stress.
Compounding the problem to this insidious ill,
Is a global political divide making it worse, still.
Rancor on the Left, rancor rebuttal, from the Right;
Not the best during Pandemic, to sustain an intransigent fight.
Human-life, and Common-Treasure the servers to the toll;
A calamity, its egregious outcome is yet, to both, fully bestow.
Yet, to those to whom the power of decision for remedy to make
At times, for reasons unknown, seem willing to forsake.
Conspiracies to this reckoning flourish with suspicion to ill-inform;
Add to this a disputed, Presidential election to hyper this deadly storm.
Front-line workers: doctors, nurses, caregivers to the suffering infirmed;
Regardless, sacrifice to their fullest extent; need be more widely learned.
“An end is in sight – light at the end of the tunnel” echoed by the Media machine;
Labs, pharmaceutical producers feverishly work, to manufacture a viable vaccine;
And though the end of this disastrous 2020th Year, with all that to endure;
The future seems a little brighter, with hope 2021 will be a full remedy cure.
In the end, with Family & Friends, it’s now we’re most want for celebration;
And though all must respect the potential to spreading this contagion;
During the coming Christmas, and approaching New Year,
Limit your exposure to the love-ones you most want to holler and cheer!!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2021
