Pandemic Paranoia
What new beliefs?
What soul searching?
Ha, come on, man!
It’s not a big deal.
Priests, Pundits and Charlatans
would have you believe otherwise;
They can skillfully redress these
natural occurrences into a religious garb.
Neither it’s a wrath of God
Nor an act of nature exacting revenge
for mankind’s abuses and excess.
When you wallow in mud, you get dirty
When you frolic in rain, you get wet
When you poke and prod the hornet nest…well!
God has not been the author of these
terrible events nor Satan’s payback
toward the people of God for sinful behaviors.
Plague, Flu, HIV/AIDS, Polio, Ebola, Coronavirus –
Epidemics and Pandemics have plagued and
will continue to plague mankind into the end times,
and along the way, becomes collateral damage.
Death is a part of life. It happens because of
natural calamities, accidents, wars, diseases,
violence, and mostly, man’s ignorance.
It’s a natural phenomena --- It just happens!
As long as there’s one man and one woman left,
we’ll be all right.
