RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES
Endure
A ladybug on a leaning tower
Tips the balance of global power
The awkward smile on a villain’s face
Propels the world to a tragic place
A cough a sneeze a careless choice
Distorted judgement a loss of voice
A series of unfortunate events
Hastens civilization’s descent
A dust storm on Mars an alignment of stars
A collision of cars a shot from afar
We are at the mercy of random chance
We cannot retreat and cannot advance
As if frozen in time
We have lost our rhyme
We stumble and fall
Cannot answer the call
How long can we endure
We cannot be sure
One thing and another
Dividing sister and brother
At the end of the line
We throw it in and resign
No and no again
We cannot give in
Surrender is sin
We will overcome
Before this is done
And the age of the virus is over
