Venal

   
Scratching each other’s back
is the new norm of camaraderie
where stupidities are tolerated
and absurdities are appreciated
 
Are humans being rewired to
become the masterminds who
survive by a self-deceiving mode
to earn a loaf of bread?

The deadly wave of Corona
seems to be aggressively distorting
social ethos and the worldview;
times are really getting tough
