Corona Virus Poem by RIC BASTASA

it just takes
a kind of you
to stop this war
this political battle
this mass upheaval
it just takes the
tiniest of you
to stop the protest
the civil unrest
the extravagance of the
rich
the corruption of power
the materialism
and the greed....
in this kind of
identity crisis
or confusion, i hope
i could thank you.
you will be the invisible
the smallest
and the unseen
and you will be giving
us the hardest lesson
of all
which we shall learn
by heart and soul.
