The Plague

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS


The Plague 

A deep dark deadly shadow fell upon the earth
Spreading like wildfire crossing borders
Walls and oceans with little hesitation

No one listened when the ghosts of
Nostradamus warned the end is nigh
No one listened when the poets cried
The reckoning is at hand
No one listened when the bible thumping
Soothsayers brought down the hammer
Of the lord’s vengeance

We’re listening now
We’re making amends
We’re praying now

Praying it’s not the plague
Praying it’s not Armageddon
Praying it’s not too late
