Covid-19

China reaches out for power Over land and across the seas Raging fevers crush the flowers Of fragile weak humanity Nothing known can quell the wake As ripples drown the soul Visions of this tragic fate Interred as church bells toll Rest for those no longer living Under a blanket of broken sod Sins without forgiving.. left to the will of God
