Scamdemic
Pandemic
Endless epidemic
Made me weak
No exercise
No sleep
Made me sick
Sitting at home
Weary to the bone
Am always on the phone
Feeling all alone
If vaccine is the cure
I took it
I feel sick all the more
I wonder what is in store
Will death come before?
Or will they kill us
With another lockdown
Bulldozing the economy into breaking down
Sword of Damocles hanging on heads like a thorny crown.
Pharma mongers plunder
Throwing vulnerabilities asunder
Masses knuckle under
The big powers big blunder
Politicians puny worth
The muck, the scum of earth
Weapons of masked destruction, sanitizers , the works
A sanity rush going berserk
Destroying mankind’s pulse
The ruckus of a black fungus ..
I check to see if my oximeter still works ..
Good one! You let it all out!

Yassy, I love your mind for it is constantly turning and like me it rarely sleeps. Your political poetry hits hard and so true. Your words are so real, and so very pure! Politicians paid by the minute, not the hour….there’s no money in the cure. Each line after the next from the virus to the fungus to whatever else can be spread. So much truth to what you say, you stay safe and keep that lovely smile up because your positivity can feed the world.🌹

No problem. I wrote a responsive poem to it. I think your Swan-Song was good, but I don’t think you should stop writing. You’re right that some people wield the pen wrong, but you’re not one of them. It’s a poet’s job to understand the balance they strike. To bth be controversial, but also a voice of reason. It’s our job to do this, and alert people to injustices, and to speak into the mysteries.
God bless. 🙂
