Hi everyone:
Yesterday and last night I cried and sometimes that compels me to write. This is what came forth:
CHAOS 2020
A few months ago life froze in a moment
It’s Covid they say and there is no containment
Dread hits the news while economies ceased
And on the next day unemployment was released
The curve a new picture drilled deep in our minds
As those we saw frequent could not walk alongside
Trapped in our shelters, websites flooded with jokes
While hospitals filled, no this was no hoax
Fights in the aisles , while TP we seized
Yet families couldn’t be with loved ones they grieved
They said just two weeks, our response we’ll survive
As projects abounded, on Zoom we did thrive.
But what lay beneath the alone and mundane
Rested quite and dormant In hearts filled with pain
No noise on the streets, isolation the key
Physically safe, psychologically what will be?
Behind the closed doors abuse takes its toll
While addiction seizes souls, with death an early goal
Nursing homes filled with elderly scared
Consequence of loneliness and families unprepared
Ads flooded with masks home grown and manufactured
Designed to shield faces and expressions of fracture
No brush or a hug, just fist bumps at best
Friends engaged frequent are now distant guests
The silence is deafening as all work from home
But those of the remnant re-read what’s been shown
The weeks turn to months as all is shut down
Much news is worshipped, yet who wears the crown?
Fear is the marker as numbers do climb
Ignore who’s I charge, folks turn on a dime
Submission at best to some leaders corrupt
As crime hits the streets, the people erupt
The churches are closed and worship erased
Monuments of history are radically disgraced
Plagues of this season yet few turn to Him
While lust has gone wild and large moral sin
A God who is loving is touted by all
While righteousness wanes, to vaccines most will crawl
We’ve pondered last days as fantasy at best
Yet His words do unfold and we’re put to the test
We dream of simple rapture, no pain we’ll be well
Contradicts my insides but I guess time will tell
Finances in tact, yeah the market resounded
Yet in a few months will we all be astounded?
Safe zones still left yet our minds still distracted
While God says ‘stay strong, I know you’re impacted’
A nation filled with comforts, it’s success guide the world
One world plans in darkness, to that we will be hurled
Our wallets close at hand and food in large supply
In swift moments all could alter as cashless few deny
His words speak ever clearly ‘I’ve told you in advance’
‘My people be alert, wake up from your deep trance’
