The Virus We All Want
"The Virus We All Want"
Pay It Forward
All the good
in You, shining
the others up
that is
the
Love
we all want
Kindness
to raise
each other
Up
it's highly
contagious
the new virus
the One
we all need
we all want
(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

“God Gave Everything I Want”/ Jagger, Kravitz
https://youtu.be/cghrHm51qhs
"I’ve learned
that you shouldn’t
go through life
with a catcher's mitt
on both hands.
You need to be able to
throw something back."
(Maya Angelou)
"When we're stuck
with cruelty,
we can either decide
that here is where it stops
or inflict the same on others
like it's a rite of passage."
(Joyce Rachelle)
"So speak
encouraging words
to one another.
Build up hope
so you’ll all be together in this,
no one left out, no one left behind.
I know you’re already doing this;
just keep on doing..."
(as translated by Eugene Peterson -
amongst his other distinguished
qualifications - Poet).
