The Great Physician

THE GREAT PHYSICIAN

 the gray sky of a virus, angry
            furrowed brows -
scowling,
     coughing - not laughing.

what affectation the globe hurling
      toward fear.
              illness towering, over
the marketplace, toppling
blocks.

Control harangues, 
                                mocks.

who is really pulling the strings?
the jester jingling his fool’s hat,
           carrion of a mock scepter -
his feet shuffling us back in time
    to the folly of our ways —
“falalalalala,” he sings.

the Great Physician waits for our call

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as
the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled,
neither let them be afraid.      John 14:27 ESV


But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well
have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.
                                                Matthew 9:12 ESV

Juliet Ligon March 2, 2020 at 3:20 PM Powerful creative poem for the state of fear people are living in with the threat of the coronavirus.
