Greatness Happened Here

 



I am not inclined, this year, 

To celebrate any miracle. 

All these

Political lies 

And

Unproven remedies 

Of late,

So much willful ignorance 

And I feel no need to harken back

To dubious claims

Of God’s intervention 

In order to buttress up

Autocrats

Be they Seleucids, Maccabees or Trumps.  


I don’t care if it’s fun for the kids. 


A great something did happen here though,

But no miracle. 

Behind it was years and years

Of research and

Money and human effort. 

Blessed Holy Wholeness,

I give thanks for  

Vaccines

And Science!

Amen.
