The Right Side Of Caution Poem by John Sensele

Error on the sound side of caution
Stay home as a precaution
Cos mass burial
No longer surreal

Our world on its knees
Vows to traverse sorrow seas
As millions lose their lives
To Covid nineteen knives

Tearing apart our routine
Confronting our medical machine
Testing and detesting our resolve
As our best brains gather to solve

The worst calamity to challenge
Our common humanity lozenge
Threatening to annihilate the human race
Unless we uphold our will to render to one another grace

Appreciating one another
To derail and defeat our common bother
Cross over to rediscover happier times
Once again despite losing dollars and dimes.
