These are the days

Now is the hour. Look in the mirror and find out who you are.

Fearful or bold.

Humane or afraid.

Anxious or calm.

The soul leaking through the shell that suddenly feels so fragile can be an awful thing, or an awe-full thing.

People hoarding toilet paper and businesses providing free apartments for stranded college students.

People indiscriminately scooping up all the water and those delivering free food to children under eighteen.

Exploiters buying up all the hand sanitizer  and people singing to each other from their windows in Italy.

Canceled gatherings all over the world and those who send their refunds to the people no longer able to work because of this.

These are the times that show men's souls.
