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?
