ABOVE CORONA VIRUS
ABOVE CORONA VIRUS In times of the severest famine, Birds still sing, the wild roars, And the righteous still give thanks For the gift of life. The Ark’s imminent docking, Signified the end of a massive flood, But never the end of destruction. In the face of Corona pandemic, There is immense quietness! So quiet, birds sing louder where Their sounds were dimmed before. In such a gloomy, scary viral outbreak, Fear and uncertainty are on an unhurried tour, The struggle to cheerfully and optimistically Live is pegged on chances. But somewhere in the ominous plague, The voice of God can be found, God’s love reigns above the suffering. The furthest science can go signifies God’s beginning, Forgive our shortcomings; guide us to the cure, For even in the midst of attack, we sing and give Thanks to God the giver of life.
