Gaining Power by Uniting the World

I called to ask

How are you?

Instead your words

Accused

No, not me

Directly

My beliefs

My lifestyle

Everything that makes me

Me

Maybe

Maybe

I am wrong

You are right

COVID is a hoax

Then why did I watch

Dad die from outside

The hospital window?

Why does my granddaughter

Wear a tiny Paw Patrol mask

And ask,

Mommy do I still have germs?

Would a hoax

Require refrigerated

Boxes to house the

Bodies of dead?

I shared a friend’s tears

As she told me the names

Of two loved ones

Who died this week

You complain,

Your grandchild can’t

Attend his school

I cry because my daughter

Who teaches must attend

With substitutes in many classes

You believe Satan

Owns the virus

Or hoax as you call it

His goal is to isolate

Separate mankind

I refuse to grant him

That much power

God provides opportunities

To choose wisely

Human’s with faith

Grab onto the lifelines

Believing that God is good

Reach out and accept his gifts

Masks, hand sanitizer, vaccines

Science and faith can

Survive in unison

Unless you believe

The world is flat
