Spoiled Inheritance

by LisaMay

 

I squeeze out the tube,

cleaning teeth before bed-time.

Must check my worm farm.

Such creeping creatures

will, indeed, inherit all.

We don’t deserve to.

Now we live in fear.

What on Earth has happened here?

The message seems clear.

We weren’t in control.

Our excess has made a mess:

puts us to the test.

Author's Note:
When I was cleaning my teeth, the white loop of toothpaste squeezing out of the tube reminded me of a worm (I squeezed too hard).

In the King James Version of the Bible, Matthew 5:5 reads:
"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth."

'Puts us to the test' refers to the current stresses our everyday lives are subjected to, as well as referring to testing for Coronavirus infection.
