How Loud the Silence
How Loud the Silence as it laid low the loud, boisterous noise of the cities?
Such peace and quiet had never been seen or heard of before.
The ever-growing, until now, Great Machine of Capitalism grinding inexorably to a budget-busting halt.
How Loud the Silence now?
These self-avowed masters of finance and worldly affairs,
vying even to be masters of our known universe!
Such was the distorted Ego of many that are currently in power,
their judgment sorely clouded by greed.
Highly advanced or so they thought,
for outside their enclosed echo chamber this was not true at all.
All such plans and schemes thus derived from these men and women
soon un-raveled, then ended in naught.
Ah, but a New and unexpected entity would soon make its presence be known.
It would not be denied!
As it made its aggressive entry onto the World’s stage.
How Loud the Silence Now?
Laid low by the tiniest of living entities we were aware of,
a powerful lesson on survival made itself manifest for all humanity.
The Living Earth upon which Mankind has been disposed to dwell
was given him as his home, to make of it a Heaven or a Hell.
Let it be known, that within the infinite space of Man’s creativity,
a dark seed of self-destruction there also lay therein.
Oh, so tiny, barely noticeable, but of immense destructive capability,
if allowed to sprout gain root and grow.
Then, out of this malevolent influence, such deadly vapors did flow
and set adrift amongst the innocent human populace where it was by fate's
decree, inhaled into the consciousness of a few who became our supposed leaders.
Then to their tune did everyone else have to march,
although decidedly their way revealed much hidden also obvious peril.
World Wars of unimaginable horror, poverty, destruction, and death.
You see instead of relying on his Earthly Mother for continued support,
Sustenance, Clean Water, and Shelter as had been Cosmically designed,
Humanity decided to go it alone in a sense, he devised a pseudo-new lifestyle,
with man-made life support systems, that ended up being
not very reliable or very life supportive.
And thus, he did suffer he and his children,
for just when he thought the advanced Tech thus-and-so world,
would surely save him and his loved ones,
then along comes Covid-19 and thus laid them low by the thousands.
How Loud the Silence Now!?
