Once believed to be above the fray
Came to the realization that wasn't the case
Just another wolf in the guise of sheep's' clothing
A fraud that pretended to be tougher than they looked
Turned into another episode of Debbie Downer
Hard to be upbeat when the weather didn't allow it
More than a few outside storm fronts to contend with
Suffering from another case of the Monday blues
Starting off the work week with a resounding thud
Hitting the pavement harder than intended
Left a physical mark and a stain on the internal pride
Cannot seem to find the right groove to dance to
Or even concentrate on what's in front of the screen
Thinking too much about what lies ahead
Paying attention to intangible theories than reality
Wanted to grasp onto something concrete
Fingers too watered down to be able to do so
On a seemingly endless journey for peace
Not possible within these chaotic times it seemed
Searching for truth in a sea of lies and alibis
Sounded like a premise of a crime novel
Or a weekly serialized network television program
Full of commercials and just enough darkness
To keep viewers and those sponsors interested
Focused on finding answers from viable sources
Not the speculative creatures who create "facts"
Until it was riddled with so many holes
That you could drive a tractor trailer through
Laughable to find credibility on an endless array of channels
Writing the ultimate term paper without a need for a grade
Passing simply counts if you're around to live another day
Who needs an "A" when you have another tomorrow
Frustrated that no one seemed to have answers
Well, definitive ones
Everything filled with such uncertainty
Timelines constantly evolving further and further out
Seemed childish to need normalcy
Maybe, just normal connection without a distance in mind
Sticking with all the CDC guidelines until things are safe
Keeping up the supplies in the meantime
Watching those reality show sinkholes
Cringing and laughing at the same time
What a contradiction; such as life.
A new mode of communication and misconception.
