The world has been lurching
from one cataclysmic event to
another with disastrous results
for humankind. Might the creator
of all that exists somehow be
responsible, in her boredom and
indifference to the fate of her
creatures, by initiating this series
of catastrophes? When we felt
that the world was coming to an end
under the burden and fear that a global
pandemic created demolishing order
and reaping a harvest of millions
that was merely the opening act.
Might anyone have suspected that the
virus of death had an accompaniment
another one that transformed the norms
of humanity into a never-ending
catalyst for pain, horror and death?
For from an era of diminishing wars
we have erupted into one that spawns
conflict worldwide, degrading humanity
perpetrating calamities of medieval
savagery on one another, re-awakening
ancient grievances and hatred toward all.
