Flowers Continuing To Bloom Beautifully In Complete Defiance Of Government Lockdown

U.S.—According to sources who dared to peek their heads outside this morning, God's brilliant creation is moving on after a long and difficult winter. It has been reported by several dirt-embedded journalists that flowers are continuing to bloom in a bright array of dazzling colors in spite of state governors' clear instructions to shut everything down. In addition, trees are sprouting leaves without any concern for clear state directives.

"Even the sun, in a callous display of insensitivity, is shining brightly," said CNN reporter Deebles McNarderson. "It's as if the sun is completely unaware that we are in a national crisis. Many critics are saying clouds would be much more appropriate at this unprecedented moment in our history."

Atheists are also up in arms over the fact that all of creation continues to bring glory to a God who "obviously doesn't exist."

Governors are already responding by forming committees to look into possible ways of gaining control over this rebellious display of nature. So far, the committees have produced no results.

Somebody posted this lovely poem on social media:

IN THE TIME OF QUIET

No one’s told the daffodils about the pause to Spring

And no one’s told the birds to roost and asked them not to sing.

No one’s asked the lazy bee to cease his bumbling round

And no one’s stopped the bright green shoots emerging through the ground.

No one’s told the sap to rest, deep within the wood

And stop the sleepy trees from waking, wreathed about in bud.

No one’s told the sky to douse its brightest shades of blue

And stop the scudding clouds from puffing headlong into view.

No one’s asked the lambs to still the springs beneath their feet,

To stop their rapid rush and quell each joyful bleat.

No one’s told the stream to halt its gurgle or its flow

And warned the playful breezes, not to gust and blow.

No one’s asked the raindrops not to fall upon the earth

And fail to quench the soil in the season of rebirth.

No one’s locked the sun down, or dimmed the shimmer of the moon

And even in the darkest night, the stars are still immune.

Remember what you value, remember who is dear,

Close the doors to danger and keep your family near.

In the quiet all around us take the time to sit and stare

And wonder at the glory unfurling everywhere.

Look towards the future, after the ordeal

And keep faith in Mother Nature’s power and will to heal.

One day at a time. this will pass.
