*Coronavirus Letter To Humanity*

The earth whispered ... but you did not hear
The earth spoke ... but you did not listen
The earth screamed ... but you turned her off
And so I was born...

I was not born to punish you.. 
I was born to awaken you..

The earth cried out for help...

Massive flooding ... but you didn't listen
Burning fires ... but you didn't listen
Strong hurricanes ... but you didn't listen
Terrifying Tornadoes ... but you didn't listen

You still don't listen to the earth when ocean animals were dying due to pollutants in the waters
Glaciers melting at an alarming rate and severe drought

You didn't listen to how much negativity the earth is receiving
Non-stop wars
Non-stop greed

You just kept going on with your life..

No matter how much hate there was
No matter how many killings daily
It was more important to get that latest iPhone than worry about what the earth was trying to tell you..

But now I am here.  
And I've made the world stop on its tracks.

I've made YOU finally listen
I've made you take refuge
I've made you stop thinking about materialistic things

Now you are like the earth... 
You are only worried about YOUR survival

How does that feel?  

I give you fever.. as the fires burn on earth
I give you respiratory issues as pollution fills the earth air
I give you weakness as the earth weakens every day
I took away your comforts.. Your outings.  The things you would use to forget about the planet and its pain.  
And I made the world stop... 

And now China has better air quality
Skies are clear blue because factories are not spewing pollution unto the earth's air
The water in Venice is clean and dolphins are being seen
Because the gondola boats that pollute the water are not being used

YOU are having to take time to reflect on what is important in your life 

Again I am not here to punish you..
I am here to Awaken you..

When all this is over and I am gone... 
Please remember these moments.. 

Listen to the earth.
Listen to your soul. 
Stop Polluting the earth. 
Stop Fighting among each other. 
Stop caring about materialistic things. 
And start loving your neighbors. 
Start caring about the earth and all its creatures.  
Start believing in a Creator. 

Because next time I may come back even stronger....
