Shall We Become Like Flies?
Have you been Alarmed
By the specks
of Tragic Truth
That have peered through
The Fog of terror and anxiety
In this Year of years,
2020?
“They are dropping like flies.”
Who are these unfortunate Souls,
Who let go of their Names,
Their Friends and Families—
Their Loved ones,
and Exchanged
Their Significance and Purpose
For an irreversible membership
In the Nameless Club
of Decaying flies?
Who are you?
You Individuals now turned
Empty seats?
You, The Hole
In our Hearts?
If God Willing,
You are still here,
Help Us, if you cannot help
Yourself —
Help Us,
So we shall not shed
More Tears,
So we aren’t further
Sobered and Yellowed
by your Departure.
There’s plenty o’ Pain
Here,
We’re sure —
But it’s still bearable
and Beautiful
With You Still Here.

Eye of The Storm
Faint
But not so
Distant
Echoes
Of Sweet Melodies,
Sang by the Innocence
Of Our Children.
The Sun’ll Shine
Once again,
As their Precious Tune
Draw nearer,
and Nearer —
Let it be,
That This Time,
The Better Angels
Of Our Nature
Will Never Again
Allow the Beauty of Innocence
To fade and wilt into
Grotesque and Unseen
Absence…!
Never again,
Shall We turn a Blind Eye, and
For millennia,
Tolerate the hidden,
Unseen, unheard, but
Grossly Rampant Lacerations
That took place
Night after Night,
Six-feet Under.
Yes,
The Sun Will Shine
This Time —
This Time…
Broken Hearts
Are Not Forgotten.
