Sunday poem" "A New Karmic Awakening"

 A New Karmic Awakening

 

There will always be a need for religion,

because there are no atheists in the foxholes

of life; but COVID-19, from wherever

 it has come, from a wet market in Wuhan

or bio lab, was sent by the gods to expand

our awareness of our existential predicament

and posit a new premise for our being, from

the primal conceit of selfish living that willful

anti-vaxxers refuse to admit, to communal

empathy and partaking; and as COVID-19

displaces the blind crutch of religion, a new

karmic awakening will guide us through

the grief of this merciful pandemic.
