PANDEMIC PRAYERS

PANDEMIC PRAYERS © ARC 8/23-24/20 

I am a believer in the `sweet by and by’: 

daily I pray for kith & kin passed and here. 

I commune with beloved parents/siblings: 

family/friends/associates/righteous I cheer. 

I have been `nigh’ crossing over multi times: 

most dramatic assault quindecinnial ago. 

early 60s had everything put in order: 

Neptune/Wake/Cemetery/Church/Shul. 

Earth/Country/Humanity in peril: 

Good vs Evil reminiscent of WWII. 

Fascism vs Democracy waging in USA: 

Hypocrisy vs Rectitude dividing civil view. 

The Emperor’s New Clothes is allegory: 

how `fake’ & hoodwinked population can be. 

How I pray our universe comes out of the dark: 

health/politics/milieu into the light to clearly see.
