watching the news one wonders how in this great country of ours 335 million people among the most educated richest people in the world we can end up with such idiots in high places running out country? these idiots in charge no disrespect intended both political parties all corporations and our institutions except maybe the military has been infected by this virus of epic incompetence greed and indifference to the general good who loudly constantly proclaim that they are Christians while violating all of Christ's teachings Jesus if he came back would scream out I am not Christian it is all about me and mine and you can go to hell if you dare to disagree and so we tweet and titter and watch the news reading the latest rumors and I wonder if there is a god or if there is a devil and are we overwhelmed by the dismal news why can’t we have better leaders better people in our leaders around the world has god abandoned us are we in hell or did god ever exist except in our fevered imagination will god save us all or will the world just go around the sun indifferent to our pleas? no answer must watch the news consumed by the need to see the latest news and so it goes and I wake up the sun is up and the nightmares fade away until I watch the news and the madness consumes us all again and again as the corona virus marches on and on consuming us all as the world falls apart these must be the end times I hope I will be raptured away even if I am not a Christian More Trouble Every Day The Old Zappa song plays on in my head every time I turn on the news and see more trouble every day no one can delay the trouble coming every day Frank Zappa died too soon before the horrors of the Trump era and the corona end of the world plague that he would have foreseen if he had lived on he was truly a prophet crying in the wildness while making money as an over night sensation as he saw the slime oozing out of the TV sets we will do what we are told for the rights to us have been sold And Jesus too has been sold to the highest bidder nothing but a business deal in America the land of the constant deal and so I turn off the TV and realize that the torture never ends the torture never ends … by pass the alarms spreading across the land to bypass the alarms spreading across the land the circuit breakers are breaking down as the alarms go on and on with the end of the world the end days approaching spreading the alarm far and wide corona cinqku corona virus it came from hell we must be all prepared meet God Taking a Walk in the Corona Era every day I go for a walk in the spring time woods near my house braving the weather and the dreaded corona virus wearing masks and gloves keeping a distance from anyone we encounter that is life it seems in the era of the corona virus when will it end no one knows until then I will brave the viral threat and confront my fears and walk in the park with the love of my life my bride my wife by my side in these challenging times that is all we can do A lone man stands in an empty parking lot A lone man stands in an empty parking lot contemplating the new normal social distancing run amuck as fears of the corona super plague plague the land driving everyone inside sheltering in place afraid to go out afraid of the deadly c virus It is a hell of a world we live in ain’t it? It is a hell of a world we live in ain’t it? said the old man to me sitting on a bench in the park in the woods as we both sought shelter from the spreading chaos the pandemic swirling around us Yes I said standing up to enforce the proper distance between us don’t want to give the virus a chance to spread between us he smiled and said relax I already went through it I am fine and you will too Pause for a moment amidst the media madness Pause for a moment amidst the media madness All around us fears and chaos Unlike the end of the world approaching us Sadness overcomes us dooming us to our fate Every we go nothing but death awaits I feel as if the whole world needs to be cancelled I feel as if the whole worldneeds to be canceled due to rough times ahead due to the corona madness and the thread of pure craziness that it inspires in us all The Virus King Cried the virus king smiled as the politicians lied saying that the end was near the virus king infected thousands more and killed hundreds of people the virus king sneered as people panicked and partied on the beach the virus king infected thousands more and killed hundreds of people the virus king laughed as the markets crashed millions became unemployed the virus king infected thousands more and killed hundreds of people the virus king roared as the world slid into chaos people turning on one another the virus king infected thousands more and killed hundreds of people the virus king smirked knowing that there was nothing that they could do to stop his army from infecting millions and killing thousands the virus King begin to realize that soon there would be no one left no one for his army to infect as everyone was dying the virus King yelled remaining defiant as civilization collapsed billions were infected millions died the Virus King at last cried when he saw that he was defeated as one by one people began to recover and his reign of terror came to an end Bring out your dead the call bring out your dead spreads around the world as millions die all over the world the virus has spread mutated and killed all over the world bring out your dead the mournful cries echoing in the wind of the dying cities mass starvation as no is working in the fields as more people die and the world spins around the sun with the politicians lying and the dead still dying as civilization dies and humanity flee into the wilderness chased by the killer virus straight down to hell the Virus Came From Hell the virus came from hell straight out of a mad lab born and raised in China the virus spread from Dinah all over to carolina it spread from the lab the mad virus of Hell was mad as hell at humans who it blamed for everything seeing itself as cleansing everything killing the world and everything revenge against humans perhaps virus came from God more likely came from Satan part of natures’ revenge all designed to avenge the damage to Stonehenge virus came from Satan The Delivery System of the Virus is Round the delivery system of the virus is round very simple system the virus spreads around and all must pay the price death and destruction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A. Baez Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 These have a vaguely Whitmanesque feel. I didn't read everything, but enough to get a sense. There are interesting components here; it would be nice to see these poems disciplined and distilled down to their truest essence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
