The Lord and the Virus

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR:  CORONAVIRUS SERIES



The Lord and the Virus

The Great Plague
The Black Death
The Spanish Influenza
The religious have always claimed
The lord would protect the righteous
They were wrong
They have always been
A virus does not examine
The spiritual status of a body
A virus has no regard
For religious fervor or piety
A virus does not distinguish
Between Christian or atheist
Between Muslim or Jew
A virus does not determine
Who is spiritually true
A virus thrives on human tissue
Any body will do

(Two thirds of a religious gathering
in Eastern Oregon tested positive
for the Coronavirus)
