Fear the Times

Fear the times, my friend, When people die of a horrible disease And the rest, the healthy ones, The young ones, Are dancing in the streets As though celebrating: The agony The suffering, and The dying Of Their fellow men Without Respecting anyone's grief And Without caring for anybody else but Themselves. Fear, these times, my friend, For These are the times that God, our Lord, would show His wrath to The rest of the world Because His holy command, to love one another, Has been disobeyed in the most Unholy way!* © Demetrios Trifiatis 20 April 2021 *While thousands of people worldwide die every day because of COVID-19 under terrible conditions and alone, hundreds of thousands of young and not so young are dancing and celebrating in the streets. This happens in Greece as it happens in many countries around the world, without these people to think of the consequences of their actions! Is that compassion? Is that love? Is that humanity? P.S. I have lost five relatives and close friends to Coronavirus within the period of a month. RIP.
