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.
