Epiphany, Jan.6, Baptism of Jesus, Jan.5-12

Epiphany...an Illuminating Event...So needed NOW!

Turn! Turn!

Awaken from this nightmarish folly!

What is real? The shadowed growth of conspiracy?

or the Epiphany that pierces the dark of our fears and anxieties?

Is our worlds inside out or upside down?...

We gorge on opioids, heroin, fentanyl.

Yet a third of the nation refuses a saving vaccine.

Prophets in our midst are masked, yet gagged.

Social media sets the beat, calls the tune...

Unvacanated frolic down Freedom Lane,

much like the unexpecting sheep

being led to slaughter by the Judas Goat

”Turn! Turn! Echoes in corridors of grief...

An election denied—the bloated Big Lie!

Truth is malleable, forged, hammered.

into new shapes and wicked designs.

Shall we awaken from this nightmarish folly?...

Thunder rolls. Fires flash! Rain pelts!

At last a change from dust and drought.

Unbidden! Startling! Never too late

to be stirred from our torpor and folly.
