Restraint
Arid zones enduring
A sudden blow of fright
Dark webs in our fortnights
This pandemic in our sight.
The tree has withered brown
Busy streets lay bare
Jobs gone out
There is no more soup to share.
Hands are cold
Warmth is nil
Faces hide,
Masks conceal.
I can’t breathe
No gatherings, all
Travels rare
Commands declare!
Remember when we bump butts?
Inexplicable desperate grief of minds?
In the new normal, we’re chunks of androids
But hope stays, our blood still red.
The respected collars lift in sacraments
Whatever guns each owns, we fight!
The doctor, nurse, cook, the courier, everyone –
To each heart, his own glow of love.
Wounds heal in time
Courage to martyrs blazing
What else can we do?
In the immense jungle of invisibility?
God mercy!
Why? There are angels forever
The Saints are with us
We bear together.
The gifts of heaven,
We share together!
The fruits of earth
Give thanks!
After the fog has lifted
Clearance in the skies,
Sweet air round and round
There is only one real crown.
In every new days’ dawn –
God’s promises prove true.
And for the assholes who only burp
…s…h…t s …h… t…shit boo!
Everything has a price
See –
St. Michael’s sword slays!
God, one Father of all, we trust in Thee.
