Our world has suddenly gone
Away
From normal
To dark
And can we see the light?
The doors close on streets and
gardens
Faces peer through windows
A cough resounds ……
Seeking life that is now
forbidden to them
But I see
The fools
The arrogant
The privileged
The stupid
The sanctimonious
I see them all
The fools shake hands with their
friend- but where have they been?
How can you know which surface
they have touched
With fingers
Now with strands of the RNA
virus.
The arrogant and the privileged
go skiing in Aspen
Determined to bring home some American
RNA to share
With the vulnerable- the babies,
the young, the old…
Admire these ones as they have no
care for others because the only ones who matter are them
And they’ve had a bloody good
holiday
And they’re not sneezing
Yet
The sanctimonious
Pray to god to stop it
Without admitting their role in
the spread of the disease…
They think their empty prayers
Might deliver forgiveness of an
evil deed that has no words to describe…… what they decided they could visit
upon the world…….
