Nearing the End Times

COVID-19? What have you not heard about it? It’s all over the place In my face In your face In our faces Only to instill fear The fear of losing The fear of dying Panicking Rushing Fidgeting Pacing Unsettling But, we have to be still And everything became still It seemed the air became fresher It seemed the land was not stressed It seemed the water was clear It became clear We had been destroying our environment With all the everyday bustling BUT that didn’t last Because COVID-19 remains an enigma No, it is not a figment of our imagination It is a nuisance An interference And people want to break free People want to break free from the stillness People want to keep moving Moving forward Some say the end times is creeping upon us With Floods With Fires With Earthquakes Destroying lands Killing people COVID-19 is the signal of our earth gone bad Because our sins have gone mad COVID-19 is a sign that the end is near When those who have been faithful to God Will ascend to heaven When those who have not been faithful to God Will descend to hell So, let us take heed and prepare ourselves For the day will come when the Lord will return And we must be prepared So then, can we try and live in harmony with nature? Can we try and keep it simple? Or have we progressed so fast we do not know what it really means to be still? COVID-19, will you come to an end Or will you overcome the world?

Interesting way to write about Covid and the end times. We see the craziness around us. How can people still ignore the obvious. Hugs ~ Kim

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Fear is only the mind telling the body it does not have enough information about something and one conquers fear by finding out what one needs to know. In the animal world (and we are animals) fear is recognised as an opportunity to ravage/conquer/plunder, so now is a good time to make peace with one's neighbours!
