Disillusioned

While living a life in seclusion Some folks may react in confusion When speaking with those, Far more brave, I suppose, Who have plans for a Covid conclusion. The optimists feel the inclusion Of travel plans, like a transfusion, Will fill them with hope And will help them to cope But it’s possible that’s a delusion. We pessimists think the collusion Of those who fight Fauci’s “intrusion” Will keep us in chains Until all the remains Of what’s “normal” is just an illusion.

I love these limericks! Given worldwide problems like never before, I try my best to be optimistic. But just when one problem ends, another takes over. We just have to accept it and do our best to endure. Science helps but it's not a panacea, and the best of scientists are as much in the dark about solutions as the rest of us are. / Maurice

It is sad that some disregard the scientists. I agree, these may keep the rest of us hostage, sadly.

Am I overly pessimistic, or just realistic: What conclusion? After this pandemic is over, another one will have already started! ~ Getting used to lockdowns
