We lost heartfelt
in the mocking
of disabilities.
We lost empathy
with one toss of paper towels
to the devastated.
We lost all trust.
what test is beautiful
for the virus of fear?
We lost a tender voice
with respect
for the dying,
for the worry of sickness
for those of us
targeted in our chests.
We lost our trust
in the beautiful test
for the virus of fear.
We hear the echo
of amazing grace notes
in a by-gone tenor
that true Compassion in Chief.
Tricia Knoll remembers the singing of "Amazing Grace" by our last President while this one seems to think the scare of corona virus events is mostly financial.
