covid-19 infant death…

tonight a child died
parents won’t be discussing
your boring lockdown
they will plan a funeral
and pray to an unseen god

 

give me liberty or give you death…

 

bert
was
an old feisty guy
never took
to
all the modern accommodations
provided
by
society
so
when
the
president
instigated insurrection
in
a number
of
democratic states
he
decided
that
traffic laws
no
longer
applied to him
so
if he ran a stop light
resulting in
someone’s
passing
it would be
god’s will
and
not
his
fault
must have been their time to go
for
it’s his right
to have
a quest
for
independence
from
the
social constraints
of
his
liberty
according
to
the president’s
words
and
modelled behaviors

 

honey you just lost my vote…

tho
i understand
the
economic issue
i do
take issue
with
the proposed
reopening
of
the economy
where
i
am expendable
due
to
my age
you see
i’ve
earned
this
damn
retirement
and
do not feel
that
returning
retirement funds
to
washington
as
a result
of
the government’s
kill your grandparents initiative
will
do anything more
than
pay
for
a round
of
presidential golf
so
i’m voting
against
such
proposals
and
those
who support
them

 

immediate recopening of the economy catcalls…

have you tasted
sadness
that
salty residue
from
tears
mingled
with
innocent blood
the blood
of seniors
and
children
blood
leached
from
the veins
of
humanity
veins
that
so
easily
collapse
when
only
the economy
of
death
is considered
no
awareness
of
keystone species
just
key economic indicators
