The new normal
which isn’t normal
The perpetrators of the myth
who propagate the idea
True believers of the hyperbole
lulled into apathy
And the apathetic don’t care
as long as they can follow the herd
Believing that there is
a new normal
Refraining from thinking
as they sink into depression
And the new normal is the
isolation of fear
Manifesting the new reality
of loneliness and suicide
“I had to write this because this is what I see all around me.” – the writer
So what is normal when something new is added every day. Let’s hope there is light at both ends of the tunnel.

Sad, but true 😦

Perhaps this imposed isolation is a necessary response to the crowding of humanity and the artificial shrinking of travel time through technology.

Thank you. It’s up to the individual to decide their “normal” and this ain’t it.

I cringe at the term “new normal.” I get it.
