The Soul of its afflictions, while threatening the body,
Which believes in the various 'statuses',
Of wealth and no-wealth, elite and non-white,
Of genders and gender-orientations,
Citizen and non-citizen, immigrant and refugee,
Native or landless, you care not,
For authentication: you envelope all in your unseen arms..!
You have made your way into many WhatsApp statuses!
And doubtless, many who scoffed
Have returned to pray…or at least to stay
At the various peaceful prayerhouses
Now that the deafening noise of the cities
Has stopped falling on deaf ears…
And we hear our heartbeats teach us
The lesson of Love..
Overriding the lessons of technology..
There is so much time now,
