It is palpable to see that our world is changing.

Our current situation affects everything.
Things that we loved to do before are now difficult to construe.
Try to look around you and that is true.

The pandemic that we are facing now is a no joke.

People are not able to throw off the yoke.
It restricts and limits us.
And now we are living differently from the past.

Infections are increasing.

Jobs are decreasing.
People left nothing to eat.
Until they succumb to death.

More than a year had passed since the outbreak.

Wishing that this would end.
How can we make this to surcease when we take the protocols at least?
The audacity and disobedience at its finest.

Education takes place at home.

Children are losing hope.
Proposing that the academic year shall be put on halt.
Because we are facing the virus’ onslaught.

Access to basic necessities should be the priority.

The government has an important role to play.
It is also everyone’s responsibility
To help along the way.

Vaccination program is on the way.

But there are people who refuse it and say,
“It is dangerous and part of the conspiracy!”.
How can we convey when they show their nay?

What a hypocrisy it is when we asked for a cure

And when it is there we believed it is a bait to enemy’s lure.
Can we just put our dubiety aside and take the ride?
Because the government is hearing our side.

New rules and norms are implemented.
For us to be safeguarded.
Face masks and shields shall be always worn.
Health protocols that everyone should be followed on.

How can we live?

Just simply face it.
This is just a small part of our lives.
This will end when all of us thrives.

Everything happens for a reason.

A reason to hone us as a person.
This pandemic will never bring down to our knees.
Just be optimistic and always pray.

The past will never be the same as today.

And today will never be identical as tomorrow.
So, let us grow!
Give our new hope a go!

It is said that CHANGE is constant.

Adapt to it and don’t stay stagnant.
Follow the new life!
Because IT IS THE NEW NOW!
