Da Capo
A Neoclassical Sonnet
What do disasters teach us to value?
Consider the culture COVID has made:
Comfort and safety and normalcy new
For them, many would through hot lava wade
Courage is needed to wade through lava
Wisdom to determine if it’s worthwhile;
Courageous hearts need no balaclava
The wise read the “what I do not know” file
Temperance might benefit us as well
As we ought to be passion’s masters
Alas, its slaves dwell in a gloomy Hell
For ageless virtues, an appetite stirs
Instead of aching for dull normalcy
New adventures we should seek eagerly
