There were the dark ages
then the Renaissance
enlightenment only an illusion
darkness from sages
as science gave its responce
mistrust's blindness a new delusion
Mechanical magic stole the show
truth sold for comfort held dear
misdirection to violence and fears
a cloud of deception did grow
now only a thin veneer
a blanket of false liberty appears
A hope for immortality
was the spark
to put death in chains
technology fed flames of vitality
leaving its mark
now only ashe remains

we traversed from the plague
to coronavirus
yet, all those generations
never noticed a difference
just more ammunition
to our woe n laments
...
(insightful word, dear Poet
good to see history hasn't been 'cancelled'
for all of us)
