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! © Demetrios Trifiatis 28 March 2020
