In This Time (Couplets) Poem by Gert Strydom

In this time almost all of humanity is afraid
while over all people death does hang as if it cannot wait,

where the figures of infection and demise do this confirm,
there is a sense of something unseen that does infirm,

where people are uncertain about what is waiting in the next day,
do daily keep active; try to joyful and full of hope to stay,

and people are perplexed by the intentions of God,
with His love and mercy they feels it odd

but He and His angels are set against the forces of death and hell
battling to death, destruction and this viral thing to expel,

and in all of this we are included, and here it's you and me,
where His omnipotence is covering us in our insecurity,
where I do only want to remember the best things about you
do trust on you love and friendship as we do go this through

while we are waiting on the end of a pestilence,
do still trust in God and His great omnipotence.
