Corona, Corona​
​
Corona, Corona how I despise you.
For one, no one can find you.
You hide.
You are invisible.
But, believe me!
One of these days,
a smart guy will find you.
And when they do,
they will destroy you.
No more pain
No more deaths
because of you.
Good bye, you sneaky devil
Good bye, mi amigo
Rest in Peace
​
From your destruction, we have learned
to survive,
to call for transformation.
We have learned to wear a mask
- not to rob, but in service.
We have learned to social distance,
Translate into keeping 6 feet apart.
We are seeing
love,
kindness
from complete strangers,
the dedication of many
- even until death.
We have learned different technology
Zoom,
distance learning,
to work from home.
We have also learned
that no man is an island.
The Corona virus has spread to more than 4,000,000 people in the United States.

A Complicated Man​
​
The complicated man has no plan
His perception of the world is twisted
The complicated man does not listen to what's been said
He is not willing to adapt or adjust
His projection opens to conflict
The complicated man shows no compassion
Always in anger
& makes no space for warmth, humor or grief
The complicated man acknowledged & possesses wisdoms
but does not apply it
