Pope lost hope: The world is in chaos because of Covid-19 and climate change, i.e. climatophosis. These two phenomena are the spirits behind this e-poem. “Pope Lost Hope” is a digital poem for the environmental revolution so that no one will despair like the pope again. The pope who is supposed to give his followers hope lost hope, stopped public mass then asked the faithful to communicate direct to the Heavens without priestly intercessions.
