A Covid Haiku-Octet Poem
Why so many must die?
Disparity…not death’s fault;
Death loves all people…
The truth has its ways,
Be careful how you respond;
Bigotry explodes!
Together…we die,
Together, we live apart;
To gather…denied…
Covid-19 kills,
But it’s not the enemy;
The news reveals…who…
Unvarnished truth…: shines;
Varnished lies reflect no light:
Only the liar…
Let’s not be dismayed,
This crucifixion shall end;
Resurrection comes…
Reading this you live…
Understanding this…you grow;
Ignorance uproots…*
*Grow… x 5
*Grow…5+2
*Grow…7-2
