Corona, the Circle of Light Prayer

Dear Mother Earth I apologize For all my poor judgement And indifferent acts Against the will of your perfection Though my path is the road to renewal It is not enough to warrant your forgiveness All of us need be together In the acts of life To relate on the elements of importance To our mutual and beneficial existence However Our nation has separated its heart Our families have almost disappeared Our lifestyles have left simplicity to become ingenuous We instead seek power, money and self-indulgence for our instant gratification and the almighty dollar inconsequential to the lives around us Our failure of caring and equality of life Now takes its toll And now you lay us low With the smallest creature that slays us A creature that is the uncaring sinister soul of survival It will take us, our loved ones away from the madness and mistakes of the past Forcing us to bond to each others potential To work together to save ourselves And those we love Please open your loving arms Be gentle and merciful with your anger and wrath Your vengeance is ambivalent and blind It serves the good of all As you take the weakest of us To make us strong That is the new Corona The circle of light The one that glows in its aura of hope That keeps us in the warmth of love and faith Together March 13, 2020 Coronavirus COVID-19 Poetry Contest Sponsored by Team Poetry Soup
