One Very Long Sentence

Living in a pandemic reveals truths that are endemic 

to the life, times, and polemics 

of Planet Earth in this age

of exaggerated outrage

when we prefer to argue and fight

and insist that only our side sees the Light

that can reveal the solution to our global plight

without seeing that the only hope… however slight

is to work together toward a collective insight

that just might

hold us together 

long enough to tether 

a lifeline to the solution 

to the pandemic’s challenge to our evolution.
