So everyday has become the same
People not learning the rules of this game
Children now taught a different lesson
People are diseased go nowhere near them
Elderly folk look on in fear
While the fat cats in power
Shed fake tears
The 'new normal' isnt normal at all
Stay safe, protect lives, the peoples role call
And so we plod on in this camp of concentration
Where freedom now means incarceration
Blindly we obey without opposition
A new holocaust for a new generation
Its a slippery slope and we have slid all the way down
It happened so fast that we didnt look around
But....
But......
There is hope in this story, a victory unseen
A lot start to question the media machine
What we were told is now bought to light
Our blind obedience has given us sight
The story remains the same tone of fear
While, actually, the truth is, we are all still here
The skies are bluer than ever before
People are people no matter what
The children are stronger than anyone thinks
The resilience of humanity
Shines past any fear
Our boldness of heart
Our strength to endure
Our adaptable natures
Are a universal cure
We stand tall, united as one
Our oppressors are scared
And have gone on the run
So take heart in these times of fake woe
There is a new normal
But not the one they have shown
So where we go one we finally go all
So be brave dear friend
And watch the treachery unfold
Then you will see what is and will be
A universal moment of new history

May that 'new history' be filled with freedom and love, especially love to all.

Good to see you back SC.
Bam... What a slam, so many great lines but there is a new normal, just not the one you see! 2020 is the year, you know our you don't, you are open or closed..
You my friend are a pen warrior, I'm gladly follow....
Keep up the write!
On review SC, I note date of posting as May 2020. Now it seems to me that nothing much has changed, in particular the prevarication of the Political Class and the quiet coup of that well known old soldier General Incompetence. And in the meantime the people struggle on the best they can.
However I do hope that at least some of the optimistic paint in the latter half of your piece does not fade…...
Well said anyway.
Here we are with a government doing its best to do the right thing so that it gets re-elected and all the media picking holes in their every move (even friggin decorators bill for gawd's sake).
Do governments ever do anything right according to the media? Other than gaining scorn from the man in the street who could do a better job (mostly dummies) it seems they do. e.g. UK covid condition compared to some other countries.
Of course governments 'could have done better' is easy to see once one has the luxury of hindsight.
A very though provoking write SC.
