Corona Candles.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Corona Candles….(A warned person counts for two)

This is neither prose poem nor poetic nudgings

a short story about a church
that starts to sell candles to protect us against the corona virus.

Today since last May, you can buy candles
from a brand new brand Corona,
Corona candles,

Yes! Light Corona candles in churches
and ask for better performance
in
business and health sector.

These candles
are sold out every time!

The name Corona is from
a patron named Corona or Korona or also Stephania,
now they have promoted her to patron saint of the corona virus

and the candles are selling very well.

The Netherlands is no longer very Christian nowadays,
or partially pagan....?

The late Corona who lived in 160-177.
Folly!

Just trading for profit
and that from a church in the province Limburg!

The people who bought these Corona candles
believe that these candles protect them from the corona virus.

The best thing is that we stick to the rules
that the Netherlands has received from the World Health Organzation,
and that we don't waste our money on corona candles that can "protect" us.

That the Netherlands is no longer deeply religious as it was decades ago
is not a problem, but buying candles from this church in Limburg
that will protect you against the corona virus, please useyour intelligence!

Thank you for reading this short story,
