Notes About The Poem

Everything now comes down to how people deal with the inevitable higher case numbers and deaths that will come with ‘living with’ COVID, even when most people are vaccinated. People had years and years to get used to influenza and its effects. This will be one of the first times people will be asked to accept deaths (and long term effects) from a new illness within a short number of years. Will your number come up in the herd?

Two Herds Two Fates

first herd was the path
to get crowd immunity,
get rid of COVID
second herd must live with it
now, all in the herd get it
