They sought to escape
the city
the lockdown of
the early pandemic,
opening Summer
camps in Winter
to be, to live, to
breathe free;
but they brought
the virus with them
sneezing, coughing
before me, unmasked,
acknowledging
they were the local statistics
I heard on TV at
night.

“I will never
understand American Christianity’s
response to the
pandemic. I’m so grieved by
reckless choices
that lead to real life consequences
for the whole
community. And I wonder in the
Church’s failure
in this also grieves the heart of God.”

if "#Jesus
wept." for the death of one friend,
Lazarus, how
much more so must #God weep for this
loss of life
from the pandemic.
John 11:35
“Jesus wept.”
