The Curse of COVID-19

December 31, 2020

crown of thorns

corona
crown of sun
coronavirus
crown of sun god
​
new crown of thorns
angry at carbon plague
ra shakes head
​thorns fall
filling breath of man

men who do not die
cannot bear seed

chariots parked
giants birds cannot fly
vessels stranded
air and water cleansed

ra pledges
more thorns
until man repents
