Life is a sandcastle. Waves wear us down slowly. We begin to crumble. Boats are big events in your life. They create bigger waves to wear you down faster. Then comes a freak wave of disaster. You disappear completely, until someone builds you back up again.

My worldview is as complicated as a person’s emotions.
My worldview is as unique as a fingerprint.
Tech was simpler then.
Before I became aware
Of lurking dangers
Restaurants, travel
With COVID taking over
Once safe, now controlled
When I was younger
Race was not something I saw
Now i see their pain
Original Text (Treble, P., 2022. Quebec isn't the only one targeting the unvaxxed. But is it moral?. [online] Maclean’s. Available at: www.macleans.ca):
Now, as hospitals around the world are again being overwhelmed by patients, many of whom aren’t unvaccinated, governments across this country and abroad are tightening the rules for those who remain unvaccinated. French President Emmanuel Macron recently proposed new measures against the unvaxxed, including restricting their ability to travel by public means and barring them from communal venues such as restaurants, theatres and arenas. “When some make from their freedom…a motto, not only do they put others’ lives at risk, but they are also curtailing others’ freedom,” Macron said. “That I cannot accept.” And in Quebec, the unvaxxed now can’t enter liquor and cannabis stores. The question is when those restrictions cross ethical lines, and even become counterproductive. 

Found Poem:
Hospitals again overwhelmed by patients,
governments everywhere tightening rules for unvaccinated.
French President proposed new measures against unvaxxed,
restricting ability to travel by public means,
barring them from restaurants, theatres, arenas, etc.
In Quebec, unvaxxed can’t enter liquor and cannabis stores. 
The question is when restrictions cross ethical lines, and become counterproductive. 

For this found poem, I changed the original text by taking away certain wordy parts and keeping key points. I also deleted certain words that the poem could do without. Lastly, I fit the remaining pieces into the new format to fit the poem style instead of the paragraph style.
