And in These Times?

And in These Times?

A Poem by Bob B

An Arkansas pastor claims

That half of his church is willing to lick

The floor to prove that COVID-19

Is merely a hoax--a liberal trick.

 

In Florida, a megachurch

Pastor brazenly defies

An order restricting gatherings

Of more than ten people. NOT very wise.

 

The Bible study teacher for

Trump's Cabinet displays

His ignorance in blaming the spread

Of the virus COVID-19 on gays.

 

But no, not only on gays, but on

Environmentalists to boot.

How dangerous when an adviser at

The White House is a spiritual brute!

 

As if he knows the mind of God,

He says that God is angry; hence,

God is punishing humankind.

Where are reason and common sense?

 

It's hard to believe that in this year--

2020--one could swallow

Such poppycock, such balderdash,

Such vacuous words, cold and hollow.
