A PLAGUE

The situation as it is has prompted this write.

                 A PLAGUE

This virus, like a thief in the night

has brought the world to its knees.

It has struck again, in different form,left us

pleading for mercy in our shattered domain.

Progression is at a standstill...

Take stock, the meek and the lowly - one and all.

In the quiet of your lonely spot ...

look around, be appreciative of what you've got,

instead of craving riches, wanting more - the lot!

See the beauty around you, even at your door.

Feel the touch of soft, gentle breezes,

dew 'pon naked feet gently placed on earths floor.

Up above and in a distance a sensuous, sultry moon

sneakily hides behind star spangled sky ...

         beauty created just for you or I.

Left are holes in every family's lives,

a worldwide affliction by this reckless thief ...

released on the earth to make mankind

be aware of the plot, making us know that 

we have offended and that we should be

           appreciative of our lot!

Economies now bent have stooped to

            the lowest of low.

Politicians are dumbfounded with no where to go!

How can we mend this, put an end to this?

How can we regain our dignity, be on the road again

          let our sanity remain?

dearest Kitty... in this Universe there are many venues. I adore “star spangled skies”. It is almost time for a Blue Moon and also being a full
Moon. There is a Mystery and at times Miracles do occur. I think of a Hallmark Card that read:
“In my Father’s house are many Mansions... and I hope mine is next to yours”. We are in this Corona Virus together... side by side. Let us pray in private or shout it from a Mountain Top... by Valleys and Streams... in the streets and waysides... We Believe... Amen Pat
