Vulnerable

There is fear
Hanging thick in the air
The air that holds life a double edged sword
Wearing masks afraid to take in Oh help us Lord
Can we do this can we pull it off
With our self absorbed ways we an kill with a cough
Not just my neighborhood town or city but the World
Where will this take us will it end as we are being hurled
Into the unknown there is fear
Reactions bring about hoarding all for one isn't it clear
This is a lesson a test of sorts will we rise
The outcome is anyone's guess without huge change it may be our demise
Everything on earth respects rhythms except man
Took only 200 years for us to threaten everything we can
The air sea & land slowly painting ourselves into a corner
And there lies the trap greed but will there be a mourner
Will this lesson in vulnerability teach us compassion
Or are we a race of people with disillusion


Blessings

This is deep, I don't like how easily they project fear in most of us. A great write. Linda

Your poem is full of wisdom, and the resounding truth of our arrogance and shortcomings. Very nicely done!

I think it is rather foolhardy for Trump to consider opening doors for business as usual. People are becoming too complacent ... America, I was reading has now over 45,000 deaths recorded. I believe we will evolve through it, hopefully as a better more humane species. Stay safe. What we give out to others, comes back to us. This is a huge test. x
