The Fateful Dance with Covid-19

Photo by Liza Summer on Pexels.com

Twas a windy Saturday morn

When would hit my home

A virulent violent storm!

All at once I was beset with a raging high-grade fever

On Sunday eve my constitution had become noticeably weaker

Mounting nausea propelled me to the bathroom

To do the old heave- ho!

In a moment I had fainted!

Unknowingly blacked out!

My face striking the bathroom floor!

My adoring wife Eva

Found me prostrate there

A bloody mess!

I fainted once more

And fell face-first once again to the floor

As my health situation rapidly digressed

Two days in the emergency room at St John’s Episcopal Hospital

They monitored my vitals

Injected me with monoclonal antibodies

To ease the illness duress

As I pondered life

Sequestered

And ruminated on my funeral epitaph recitals

What saved me is that my immune system did not initially overreact

The dreaded Covid-19 disease you see

Causes ones own immune system in certain people

To go on the attack!

A fortuitous circumstance!

As i lay on the intensive care bed rack

Had my breathing measuring a constant 95

Stable and intact

So I am still here!

Not yet quite clear

When I will be able to carry on the daily task

To all of you!

I must behoove!

Do not let your guard down and go outside without wearing your mask!

Alas upon returning home from the Intensive Care Unit

To my buoyant hound Milly

In my sparse humble abode

I experienced a terrible inflammation within my noggin!

My nodes felt as if they were ready to explode!

Feeling as if the top of my head was exposed!

Terrible headaches for two months ensued!

T’wen it was finally via my neurologist I received the good news?

I had made it through my long-term trial with the cutthroat viral disease Covid-19

Yet the nerves at the side of my head

Running down to the base of my neck

Had been torpedoed as if by a submarine!

High-voltaged!

Screaming Meemies!

The whim-whams defile my being!

I shudder!

I rage!

I vent!

I howl and mutter!

Stuttering aghast at my painful healing!

In vain

The diseased villain racks my brain

Foul insolence!

Doth not let my enduring pain!

Be lost on those unfortunate souls

The viral beast thrives on to remain

The Old

Infirmed

And insane

Why dither and complain!

With not a smidgeon of mortal soul induced shame

Refusing to be administered the readily available bioavailable Covid-19 vaccine!

Infrastructure

Who likes to give a lecture?

On Infrastructure

Bridges are buckling

Republicans chuckling

Of their Free Market Frankenstein expertise?

Are citizens getting fleeced?

Studies undertaken by Engineers

Show our Bridges

Tunnels

Affordable Housing

Train and Bus Transit

Waterways

Highway Repair and Maintenance systems

Medical and dental care

Have across the board ceased

Past time for a transformational dollop of Citizen grease

Time for Public Battle

For our Safety and Infrastructure

Led via the Progressive vanguard

As Native American Indian Chiefs

Crazy Horse and Cochise!

We implore for some more FDR!

From our newly empathetic Commander-In-Chief

Infrastructure to fortify The Union!

Must be the next big item put on our plates

Where’s the beef?

Covid-19 Relief

To all of my Progressive Friends!

To the Appeal readers

And Activists

And more!

Your dogged civic pursuit of economic

Social and political assistance

To the Working Class and Poor

Has opened the door!

Moved the country forward!

Congressional Democrats have completed their Covid-19 Relief

American Rescue Plan chore!

From the bottom of my toiling heart

A merry anxiety relieved thank you to all!

Join us in the blessed anti-war!

The journey continues onward!

Till my beating heart

Ticks tockingly no more!

Black Lives Matter

Photo by julie aagaard on Pexels.com

Black lives matter
An assortment of colored birds in the trees chatter

The murder of crows know

Doom looms in the unnatural gathering

Beware of the dark matter
Twisting like a vine

Contrast and confine

Into the minds!

Of the thinking

Beyond the paler

Colonial beings

Taking flight as a kite

Seeds strewn everywhere!

Intermingled with the flowers

And the weeds

Ignorance as bliss!

We aver au conterere!

In polite society nothing is amiss!

Integrity shatters

As the social mental virus scatters

Superior thoughts flow

From mind to hand
Throughout the lands!

Dark skin jeers

Appear

Emboldened via Darwinian actions

Thought

Dreams

And fears!

Economic social and political conquest

Moves the White Race-craft builder

From pure tiny toddler/tots

To rank thieves

Murderers

Rapists

And brigands!

Slave Masters!

Devoid of love and tears

Comfortable

Photo by Longxiang Qian on Pexels.com

Work like the devil!

In defense of the exalted status quo

Comfortable in the carnal knowledge

Thou hath repelled thine economic insolent foes

Why sayeth I?

Spend even one second

On empathy for those

Providence has not esteemed!

Nor chose

Starved of the innate riches!

One must muster

To luxuriously repose

Effortlessly I have built a castle moat

Which it is meant to be!

Cannot cross your sullen woes

High up in the cloudless kingdom

Where the sun don’t shine

I shalt live carefree!

Amongst the golden trinkets

And my imprisoned super-natural ghosts!

No earthly worries!

Eternally macabrely merry!

Don’t you suppose?

The Republican Rabbit and Lincoln’s Black Hat

Photo by Nataliya Vaitkevich on Pexels.com

The Republican Party’s biggest trick!

Is their ridiculous members assertaion

“I am not a politician”

Plain-faced stage act

In this way they can pull off their anti-government

Big money coup de grace

Their supporters not having a hint to a glint of accountability trace!

The political misfits magic equivalence

To pulling an anti-civic rabbit

Out of a Lincoln-styled black hat

The White Whale

Photo by Nick Bondarev on Pexels.com

The White Whale never likes to show his face

Preferring a fishing expedition

By the rest of the human condition

To be conducted without

His grace

Never-mind that his appearance

Will bring clarity to the bottom-line

In sorting out

Exactly what took place

The White Whale considers his adoration being

Above the Human Race

Swimming along the bottom of the sea

Plotting his next move

To be adored as the Beautiful Beast

The lavish luxurious lure

To the exalted consumer chase

The White Whale

Attracts millions

Of eager on-lookers

Who wish to revel in his place

The Clown and The Circus

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com

The ex-Presidential Criminal Clown and his Circus began with a lie

President Obama is not an American!

For years they would politically cry

It was the beginning of the Clown’s political method that his followers

The Circus

Would learn to apply

Then came the travel ban on all Muslims

Tainted with the domestic terrorist dye

Locking up children in cages!

And the supposed Mexico paid for Billion-Dollar Border wall?

The evangelical call?

For the Hydes of the Others grunters

Who deserved no more in life

Than being exploited by corporations and the rich

Let us over-work these undocumented toilers at a fever pitch!

No labor rights in the capitalists flight!

Further still dumping on their new-age slaves

Slovenly in the nakedly political pig-sty

Football players reviled for the act of taking a bended knee

During the playing of the National Anthem

In solidarity

Peacefully protesting the deaths of their brothers/ sisters

At the hands of vigilante Over-police

Became The Clown and Circus next profound?

Battle-cry!

Bye the bye

Came The Clown’s third-grade insults of his political opponents

The Bully to Charlie Brown component

Why is everybody always picking on me!

Man-boy excuses that any disagreement with the Clown is political bias!

And always the proliferating of the Clown’s prevarication

And his cabal of liars!

The willing anti-democratic fascist servants of Sire!

For his finale the Clown

Commander In Chaos

Incites his violent mob of bully supporters!

The Circus

To storm the United States Capitol Building

At the exact moment Congress is certifying votes of the 2020 Presidential Election

Which the Clown repeatedly falsely claims is stolen

Stop The Steal!

The Big Lie!

Their righteousness certified via Darwin’s Natural Selection?

A fitting end for the ex-Presidential Clown and his Circus

Make America Great Again?

No! Your governing?

Serves a divisive purpose

No more chaos for the country!

And politically motivated corruption and confusion in plain disguise!

Anyone remember the “Russia if you have the emails please deliver” bromide?

The anti-governing Republican majority in the people’s House jettisoning their own Speaker with pride

Providence let the Trump fever break!

God willing!

For these American citizens

Time to say

Lock Him Up!

The Clown and The Circus

In the ash heap of history!

All in the clown car to eternity

Where everyone is saying!

It is win-win!

Will you take your anti-debate sins to a land of redemption?

Decent citizens all together In a loud guttural animalistic aside

Begone forever!

Says the rebuilding Nation

Bye Bye!

To the red white and blue sky jive!

Do not return ever!

To Make America Grate

In the most terrible and awful way again!

You have made your beds

Now you can go satisfactorily lie!

In them

What-About-Ism

Photo by Ahsan RK on Pexels.com

The poor and the working woman/ man

Will be laughed out of court

Acting as a non-accountable Republican politician

Using what-about-isms!

Sent on a straight line to prison

Comparing apples to oranges?

The magistrate response is no more growth to your days spent as a citizen

Beneath the judge’s mumbled breath was heard

A flabbergasted

Are you kidding?

Therein lies the farcical rub and anti-powerless unmonied schism

Unequally applied justice

Will naturally lead to racial and class division

Republican Senate Tools

How ironic it is?

That the Republican Party which has become infamously iconic

For it’s adoption of President Trump’s cries of Fake News!

Discrediting of media journalists for not telling their “truth”

Cries of the Deep State is out to get us!

Anyone who is against us and their mama is politically biased rule

And “The Big Lie” that the election was stolen!

Stop The Steal!

Even though Republican senators were on the same ballot as the President?

Add on the untold manifold amount of The Donald’s prevarications and untruths

Unilaterally displaying no accountability of The Executive Branch

Going along with its voters appeal to the un-democratic murderous January 6, 2021 uncouth coup

For a President Trump’s apparent corruption in the 1st Impeachment

Deadly Incitement to insurrection of The Capitol in the 2nd Impeachment

Now they will vote to acquit President Trump

Despite overwhelming evidence!

That he incited the Capitol attack

To halt the certification of the election via mob rule

As demonstrably shown by the House Impeachment Managers!

Led by Lead Manager Jamie Raskin and Joe Neguse

Joaquin Castro Madeline Dean Stacey Plaskett Eric Swalwell Diane DeGette David Cicilline and Ted Lieu

Never mind the Insurrectionist Anti-Patriots rabid fervor

To hang Vice-President Mike Pence

Outside the Capitol on the gallows they had constructed

As an Anti-Trump ghoul!

Are you a Senator of the People?

Or as we suspect to be put on notice after the Trial

Donald John Trump’s and the Mob’s Political Tools

Law and Order?

Do you take the People for rank fools?
