RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES
The Shadow of Christmas
The shadow of Christmas has fallen
On a tired and weary nation
The virus has metastasized
Like a deadly invocation
The holidays raised our spirits
And stimulated our senses
But in its wake it’s sad to say
It weakened our defenses
So now we face the consequence
Of Christmas cheer and sharing
We watch the virus soar and spread
And fear we’ll lose our bearing
The question we must ask ourselves:
Was it worth the cost?
So much pain and suffering
So many lives we’ve lost
