Sequences Of Consequences Poem by John Sensele

A vicious virus is striking
While we cavort in our blindness
Our wellbeing no havoc is wreaking
We pursue an agenda of unkindness
Assuming tomorrow virus evaporates
Figment of our imagination says
Nothing nefarious our obstination serrates
We delve deeper and deeper into ways
Violate covenant with God signed long ago
To save humankind from its pursuit of arrogance
Coupled with stupidities and infirmities we can't forgo
Despite thousands of us dying
Medical angels we send to the war front
Without thoroughly studying
Complications and implications of the affront
We launch claiming technology
Empowers our insanity to prevail
In spite of lack of support for the inane analogy
We promote as we violate the veil
That shields fields of the faith
We've held dear for centuries
Promising God we've ditched the lunacy breath
That invited floods, famines and bigotries
Thousands of years ago when plagues
Afflicted our livelihood
As we dared God in leagues
Where neighbourhood turned against brotherhood
But do we ever learn
Despite the Tower of Babel
Because forgiveness we spurn
Although like Cain today we kill Abel
In our distorted thinking
Boasting on television covid nineteen
Ain't nothing but blinking
That soon will evaporate in a demagogue's tinkering tin.
