ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION

Amon

How shall we run away during this night?

Shall these days of great tribulation be shortened?

Neither grief nor melancholy is fair for this sorrow of a world

 

Shall this generation come across the splendor of gray hair?

Or  should any flesh be saved?

No going back, still no way forward

 

Has this oppression ever been from the beginning?

Is this imminence to ceasefire or it's just the genesis of adversity?

Every new day is a bowstring, more stiff

 

The Yersinia pestis sent plagues across the globe 

Killing hundreds of millions with reckless abandon

Later, cholera pitied not the residue of the curse

 

Still trying to end a series of pestilences, he just intruded

COVID19; spreading like wildfire

It is a wholesale massacre of millions, sending them to mass graves

 

Stay in and mask up, no touch

HIV, cancer, hernia and company neither comply with lock down restrictions

"Lord have mercy upon the world, shorten the time!"

 

[MASK UP, STAY IN AND DO NOT TOUCH #staysafe]

    A fine write Amon.
    Yet we are allowed to leave home for medical appointments and treatments.

    • Amon

      I'm allowed to leve for work; behind the mask

      • orchidee

        Yes, leave home for work too.

        Very appropriate and well written words Amon.
        The line "Shall this generation come across the splendor of gray hair?" says such a great deal.
