of course it had to happen on a sunday
when half the town was well-dressed and locked away
wine and bread on their lips and their hands raised to the sky

the atmosphere was spirited and merry
they said their welcomes to the stranger in the sanctuary
they didn't know he rode the pale horse carrying net and scythe

the thunderbolts crashed
and the lightning struck
and the red sea failed to part

o wandering souls with untethered lives
and eulogies full of their mothers’ cries
simply sending thoughts and prayers is not enough

dear spectator with the video phone
what would happen if you didn’t make it home
would you want your last breaths to be a trending topic?
