The Cleansing

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES



The Cleansing

Toxins spread across the land
Poison seeping from poisoned minds
Wretched souls and misery
Suffering the terror of need
By the hands of greed

And the waters come down
Like a rumbling train
From a broken sky springs
A cleansing rain

A thundering storm like the gods of war
Batten down the hatches
Bar the doors

Put our hands together and pray

Wash away the tears
Wash away the rage
Wash away the horror
Wash away the waste

Let us be whole again
Give us good health
Let us have joy again
Let us feel well

When the whole world is in such sorrow
Let it rain today until tomorrow
