On the Road to Emmaeus Valentine

If the adults in the room
Can't take care of the infirm
And are overwhelmed
By their own frantic children
They've left behind
To attend to the dying and the dead
We must really have lost our minds
Some time ago lost the thread
Of the little family we all are
The palpable sense of the essential
Idea of our togetherness in this
As from the beginning have we
Forgotten it extends
All the way to the end
