Nothing But Night Poem by Dorsey Baker

If the new normal is
what we are looking at
right now
then the future
it don't look so bright

Your friend can't be a friend
Your neighbor can't be a neighbor
unless he's standing
six feet away

If the new normal is
what we are looking at
right now
then the future
it don't look so bright

Like a machine gun
corona virus killing
everybody that you see
causing so much pain
and misery

If the new normal is
what we are looking at
right now
then the future
it don't look so bright

When darkness comes
you know
it aint nothing but night

If the new normal is
what we are looking at
right now
then the future
it don't look so bright
