Life in the Time of Plague
by jeff-stier
Seven times seven ills
arrive at our door
the streets are silent
Nothing moves
How do we merit
these days?
Did we earn so little
for our travails?
I blame God
since it is said
that he is almighty.
He could lift this plague
but does not.
So logic -
that machinery of madness -
tells me
this plague is sent by God
for reasons
mysterious.
