The New Normal Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The uninvited presence,
Of the new normal amongst us...
May be protested by those against it.
And those accustomed to challenging change,
Have been pressed to reject with mindsets objecting.
However...
Swift and regardless of conformities expressed,
Today the new normal has arrived to be addressed.
And those drifting in the midst of it,
Can choose to refuse but behind they are left.
As those with a higher consciousness,
Acknowledging what time it is...
With eyes, ears and minds wide open to accept,
Are not the ones heartbroken to find themselves...
Freed from limitations and restricting beliefs.
Beliefs fed to feed on conflicts they have chosen to leave.
