Act Of God Poem by Ace Of Black Hearts

Some seem think this disease has brought us closer.
Other think the plague is ripping us apart.
Change is not always clean, neat, or easy.
Sometimes its difficult to survive.
A job lost, a job to find.
A supply chain cut, now is the time to stock up.
Rules to follow and fight over.
A midnight bar brawl.
That phone call you have been dreading.
A loved one dying.
And you are not aloud visit or give them one last hug.
The nurse risks her life to you talk to her through a phone screen.
The hospital firing people over the disclosure of not enough masks, gowns, or gloves.
Refrigerator trucks being brought in to store the bodies.
A promise of vaccine that can not come soon enough.
Schools so desperate to not go bankrupt there opening up regardless of the risk involved.
Teacher quitting left and right, saying the money is just not enough.
Restaurants on a roller coaster ride of restrictions.
Each area there a little different.
Cops refusing to enforce temporary mandates and laws.
The tech industry going as mobile possible.
Working from home is the way they like it.
There is no person in this world it has not effected in one way or another.
As politicians claim they got it under control, when really that's only their ego talking.
Because this is an act of god.
Even if scientist do solve it.
We will forever scarred from this for good long while.
This is history as we know it.
Even if it is the 2020.
We need to learn from the mistakes we have made.
And really hope we do someday.
But we need to keep an accurate accounting of all that's happen no matter how difficult it seems.
The media needs to push the limits and boundaries more then even before.
Because every action we take has a ripple effect across world.
When it's finally over we can judge and debate who was right and who was wrong.
But for now feet must be held to the fire.
Making hasty decision, under a burdensome public pressure.
Feeling guilty about something you have no control over.
This is the moment we will remember for the rest of our lives.
