Question

short poem on Spanish flu and mention the name of the poet​

Answer 1

And the people stayed home. And read books, and

listened, and rested, and exercized, and made

art, and played games, and learned new ways of

being, and were still. And listened more deeply.

Some meditated, some prayed, some danced.

Some met their shadows.

And the people began to think differently. And

the people healed. And, in the absense of people

living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and

heartless ways, the earth began to heal.

And when the danger passed, and the people

joined together again, they grieved their losses,

and made new choices, and dreamed new images,

and created new ways to live and heal the earth

fully, as they had been healed.
