It really seems that COVID's here to stay. A virus isn’t easy to contain. Vaccinations help keep it at bay, But battles with its variants remain.
Trying to avoid it is a chore, But certainly it's worth it in the end. Sometimes it's a daily tug-o-war: Reminding folks that COVID's not their friend.
People act as though it's disappeared, And many folks have thus let down their guard. What they're doing is that which should be feared: Believing what is plainly a canard.
Because of strict precautions, lives were saved. But there were far too many that were lost. Unfortunately, many people caved, And when we do, we do so at great cost.
For countless reasons we are who we are. I still wonder what makes people tick When they cavalierly choose to spar With those who try to keep them from being sick.
So COVID's here to stay for now at least. How much longer? Well, that's hard to tell. Don't give up the fight till it has ceased To threaten you and other folks as well.
