It was no accident eternity
befooled communities. Modernity
quivers on the bequests of The Black Death
blameworthy clearly rats for megadeath
perusing lists of words' coinage--deceit
abomination in abundance--cheat
our comprehension, contrary, won't jive
so conclusions ill-at-ease we arrive
to add them up, discordance clarify
and make allowance for the disease lie
erratic evildoers to defy
dull-witted, ecstasy we deify
Inspired by: Community, Eternity, Arrive and Bequest as well as many other words first used in the 14th century (italicized.) There was a whole lotta word coinage going on back in the 1300s!
The germ theory disproved, what caused The Black Death? Our lexicon impedes our understanding of the nature of "disease." Here are three alternatives to ponder: Jason Breshears interpretation, this article, and Dawn Lester's What Really Makes You Ill.
