Confluence of Catastrophe

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES



Confluence of Catastrophe

Wildfires in the west
Hurricanes in the east
In the midst of a great pandemic
The reaper is preparing a feast

We are walking in our sleep
Too dazed to think ahead
We know we should get ready
But we’d rather play games instead

Is there anybody out there
Who knows what we should do?
Is there anybody out there
Who can help us see it through?

We are a ship without a captain
Like a rig without a wheel
We are adrift in open waters
And we don’t know what to feel

We are waiting for a hero
To shake us from our gloom
If we do not soon awaken
We are sure to meet our doom
