Vicious, Is the Unwelcomed Stranger

Conclusive is the board meeting by death’s merchants in Wuhan the planet is rich, now placed in a temporary ban. Grey hair is condemned in the statistics of Italy, a sudden hit and the world is terrified vividly. A brother’s keeper, a brother’s sufferer, succumbs Spain, humanity amputated and its skin increasingly stained. Non-sleeping streets, the wilderness now noisier than London, the butterflies on every flower have disappeared and long gone. Blood has made unholy, the sacred grounds of New York, hades grabs again and again, this is worse than bad luck. The terrible phone call is received late in Africa a demise is here, having more ammunition than cholera. The constipated grave is still overfed by its undertaker, desperate hearts, fearful minds in search of our maker. In the solar system, the sun has been replaced by death, the human is sanctioned, of all the departments of the Earth. The waters flow across distant borders, announcing this crisis, we won’t let the fallen be the only emphasis. A particle the size of nothing, gives life much misery, damages accepted, but this will yet be another victory.

This line alone is very powerful! "A particle the size of nothing, gives life much misery," A sad fact of our world today, well-worded.

An invisible virus with the power to cause so much devastation pain and misery will change the world view on all our previous way of thinking, and maybe if we have learned the lesson who has the power, God or Man and get our priorities right, the world will be a better place for us all to live amicably together. Great Poem

This pandemic has been going on a long time. We just didn't see it. I refer to the destruction of our oceans by the nuclear power plants. We seem to forget so easily until it's on our door step. Well done my friend. God Bless, JB

Humanity will come out as victors, because evil cannot reign for too long over good, for it will deplete to nothing as is its maker and master, satan. Loved this poem Funom, Blessings, Jennifer.
