Poem for the week: "The Only Cause that Matters"


The Only Cause that Matters

All the stories are flooding in now,
people all over the world dying
from COVID-19, and innumerably
more afflicted with this contagion
that chooses its hosts with no distinction
to status or race, a non-discriminating
virus that renders everyone equal,
from Prince Charles to Jane Doe; and
the anguish, pain, and suffering that
this global pandemic has cursed us
with will never be appreciated until all
the dust has settled and we look back
and remember when our life was
brought to a crawl to slow the spread
of COVID-19, and we thank God for
bringing the world together in the only
cause that matters, the unification
of the human race.
