Notes About The Poem

" NEW WORLD " MY PHOTO, ©

The Dawn of a New Era

We
Didn't hear God's whispers

We
Chose to ignore God's cries

We
Even disregarded God's roar of
His wrath
For all wrongs we were doing:
To nature  
To life  
To each-other.

Then
Silence fell...
An eerie silence
Carrying with it an invisible virus
That brought:
Fear
Terror and
Death.

Suddenly
We woke up from apathy's slumber
And rush forward to repel the invading
Enemy!

Doctors and nurses,
Police and the army,
Volunteers and priests,
All took up arms against a common foe,
All ready to give their lives for their
Fellow man.

What a glorious manifestation of goodness
What a magnificent display of brotherhood
What an apotheosis of divine love!

" No greater love hath man than laying down his life
for his friends." (John 15:13)  

It is certain  
That this is the dawn of a new era
The birth of a novel world that would be:
Kinder
Nobler
Braver
Juster and
More loving!

God, my friends,
Works in mysterious ways
For
To lead us onto the path of righteousness,
The path from which humanity, unfortunately, has
Been led astray!

Maria Williams March 29, 2020 at 1:34 AM Such a inspiring poem my dearest friend. Thank you for sharing these words of Love, Faith and Hope. Through all the chaos, one can sense a feeling of peace as mankind shares and depends on one another. Never before has there been a time when majority of mankind hasn't shared this one common collective feeling of Love and Trust in God. A fave always ....Maria xox

Tom Cunningham March 28, 2020 at 9:07 AM Man has chosen for Greedy and selfish reasons to ignore the warnings now we are all having to pay the price. Governments slow to act worrying about their economy while thousands have died. The worrying thing Demetrios is man does not learn from his mistakes and we will probably be in this situation again. Well written. Stay safe. Tom Demetrios Trifiatis March 28, 2020 at 10:13 AM I know dear Tom. I know. Thank you for visiting. Take care.
