The Aftermath of Covid-19

Boosters to boosters, syringes in hand,
this substance helped me blend in this new land,
in the aftermath of the virus’s reign,
we extended our Lenten season of strain.

Tightening belts as the rains poured down,
isolating, gearing up, without a frown,
microbes emerged, spreading everywhere,
we worked from home or ventured with care.

On-site or live, work knew no bounds,
whether office doors locked, or silence resounds,
in the code red’s grip, we still found our task,
a wiggle room left, though tight was the mask.

Camouflaged, flexible, remedies we made,
adapted, survived, as the world swayed,
what makes us now, after COVID’s fight,
a resilient spirit, emerging to light.
