In a box under the bed
Laid a copy in print, sprinkled with cardinal red
Bylines and mastheads from a different era
Changes made for worse or better
The pages, yellowed with age
Mark the start of when the virus put us all in a cage
Today you hold in your hands a copy fresh and new
The names in print have changed, bar a few
But the spirit remains the same
Kept alive by those who have survived
And fresh faces excited to thrive
Perhaps you could be next
