Is Social Distancing the New Cool

Social distancing is the new king 
It is as romantic as a modern day proposal with a ring 
But city folk are professionals at telling where people to go 
Using the special finger with the R rated message they show 
Is social distancing a good idea? 
Is it the true way people feel? 
What is society going to do? 
Sit back and say “social distancing is the new cool” 
Plans should be put in effect 
On how people can reconnect 
Using one word, respect 
Also, understanding every scene is not theirs 
And realizing sometimes it is someone else’s affair 
It is not hate which builds this blockade 
Just the honest feeling of needing to go in another way 
There is a piece of happiness for everyone 
To go where they are truly welcome 
Based on like and dislike 
And not commanded by someone holding a mike 
If social distancing is the new cool 
We will all end up a bunch of lonely fools

If this is the new cool, count me out. I need my grandchildren’s hugs.
