RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES
Bravado
We are all subject to the laws of physics
We cannot opt out
We cannot object on moral grounds
The sun will rise
The moon will follow
Young folks reach for the sky
Old folks like fallen fruit must die
Don’t ask why
Don’t ask why
You can curse the stars for shining
You can purge what rests within
You can dwell in sorrow’s garden
You can argue with the wind
A single truth survives the ages
Upon this you can depend
The greatest lesson in this life
Comes at its very end
It’s the moment when you realize
A mere flash before the fall
Your courage in the face of death
Wasn’t bravery at all
