Painting by Numbers
(pandemicism)
I’m unsure what to say about
Those who die today
Saluting nothing
No cause but the spread of a disease
We will number them
We’ll try
Then we’ll try to
Turn them into issues
On platforms
Of lies,
Of anything but names and
All the parts
Of lives
That some carried
And bear now

The world population is 7.8 billion and approx. 56 million die each year. It’s the media that decides which individual’s death is highlighted at any given time. The rest remain anonymous except to family. I don’t think there is anything to say, Christopher, death is coming to us all. Long-life to you, Christopher. I want to keep reading your blogs. I’m selfish that way.

Nearly eight billion. I didn’t know. I wish we had a way to acknowledge each life passing. I think it might help us all live better. Thanks for your good wishes, Len! I’d like to be around. I’d like for you to be around.

Your share is a reality that only prayer can give us the insurance of faith that God will remedy all. ❤️❤️❤️Loving Hugs!!

Faith and prayer–they are the way to live. God remembers every person perfectly, and we can value each other more. We can’t be perfect at it, though God is a model as God is a teacher.
Thank you! Hugs to you!
