I am now done with Covid-19.
\nThe news and the models are not what they seem,
\nThe frenzy, the hype, the expert decree,
\nDo not synchronize with re-a-li-ty!<\/p>\n
The sky is not falling, no war-planes above,
\nThe children are wond’ring why all the hubbub,
\nThis thing has a name \u2013 and it’s not a virus,
\nIt is called fear \u2013 and it’s right inside us! <\/p>\n
How shall we deal with this state of affairs,
\nNo church, no school, just stay in your chairs,
\nIs there something else that can be done?
\nIs there anything, anything under the sun?<\/p>\n
The answer to life \u2013 its issues and cares,
\nIs way beyond me, my spouse and my heirs,
\nWe add and subtract \u2013 come up with a plan,
\nA storm comes along \u2013 it flattens like sand.<\/p>\n
My Father in heaven has told this to me,
\n“Trust Me with your life impli-cit-ly”.
\nGod, I am yours in fat times or lean,
\nI am now done with Covid-19.<\/p>\n
