Nuts In 2021 and 22

It’s hard pin down when precisely the world went insane. It all began with a manufactured virus, that obvious fact was hotly denied by many, however the unscrupulous quickly used the viral outbreak to tyrannize the people. Fear was used to control and force compliance, this led to a wide-spread paranoia, sadly many folks died, but something else went wrong, the survivors caught a critical condition, many succumbed to an insanity, even the politicians and the medical 'experts' went mad. There was a lurch into a mass psychosis. Those that tried to reason with the crazy ones were attacked, banned, cancelled, or shouted down. Nothing made sense anymore, and now as a new year arrives we are all a little shaky, a little unglued, but we follow the rules hoping the planet will recover in some cosmic asylum one day.

Good writing, Eric. I'm supposing you carefully avoided taking a stand on either side of the current kurfuffle in your poem. Quite interesting and well-done.
