Edge of Life's Cliff
Coronavirus, here to stay;
Rather unfortunate to say.
Lives have changed; things aren't the same.
Crowding of hospitals, a shame.
Complacency, life on the edge;
Flirting with disaster on ledge.
We're close to falling off a cliff
After withstanding hardship's biff.
Oh, when will this pandemic end?
Masks now drive me around the bend;
Quite the necessary evil!
Omicron surge cause upheaval.
Setbacks after progress does stink.
Ship of state teeters on the brink;
Soon, millions of lives will be lost,
Vaccinate and avoid the cost!
