My very own scribble is
feeling pointless & irrelevant
in the madness of
these times.....
these broken times.......
People of all colors march
the streets with good reason,
but like John Lennon sang
"But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out !”
I never was a bomb or rock thrower
& refuse to start at almost 70 y/o.
 
Is the Covid really 99% harmless ???
Tell that to 130,000+ grieving families
in the United States alone....

Shooting mixes in crescendo with
joyful stress relieving fireworks,
that old timey release corrupted
by lead poison nationwide
WTF ????
& why now ??
Edgy feelings on the street
& between the ears...again, again..
 
and now the cornucopia of worry
must focus on
our nation’s school kids ???
When is your Baron boy headed
back ...must be nice to have tutors
& Nannies keeping things safe....
Too bad the rest of us are
expendable for politics !
Old Folks,
Minorities,
Native Peoples.
Preexisting conditions,
Now school kids &
funding threats...in
the Land of the Most
Covid cases & Deaths...
Don’t fear the Reaper
Re-elect Him !!....
