Just Like That
Last New Year's Eve dismissed Twenty-Nineteen-
we watched the Ball come down via TV,
as lively crowds at famous Times Square scene,
cheered in our brand new decade- as did we;
so full of promise- this new year would be.
By early March, oh how our world had changed-
with dire pandemic- fate was rearranged;
our routine lives on pause- and just like that-
the chance of death and quarantines deranged
our world- as Covid War- we now combat.
