The Best Of The Worst



Who knew these days could not compare,
To those times long gone.
Now reminisced as the good old days.
When people would announce,
Of having lived around others...
Unafraid to admit their dysfunctions.
To know not to hide reality for what it is.
Yet...
Here we are.
Living these times and days.
Among those known afraid to admit,
The worst of times to once have lived...
And experienced,
Will never come to compare...
To the best of the worst to define,
With words alone.
As to how,
A normalcy can be described as missed.
When denial, delusion and fiction,
Have become a way of life.
And regarded as entitlements to protect!
Leaving many left lieing to themselves,
To believe...
The only way to rid,
A life threatening pandemic...
Is to ignore the reality of it.
