COVID BLUES
covid
she don't give a damn
who she touch
with evil hand
or where she lay
or what she break
as long as she got
hers to take
nestled sweet
in fleshy lair
a lover gone
for lack of air
but covid
she just move along
and pick another
from the throng
for lovers ain't
that gal's concern
covid don't care
who she burn
or who she break
with evil hand
'cause covid,
she don't give a damn
she don't give a damn
who she touch
with evil hand
or where she lay
or what she break
as long as she got
hers to take
nestled sweet
in fleshy lair
a lover gone
for lack of air
but covid
she just move along
and pick another
from the throng
for lovers ain't
that gal's concern
covid don't care
who she burn
or who she break
with evil hand
'cause covid,
she don't give a damn

I'm better, but still feeling the burn of Covid's wrath.

Dear J,
I’m very sorry to hear this and glad you’re feeling better. You’ve done an excellent job of expressing the nightmare of this virus through rhyme. I hope your recovery gets speedier and speedier. H🌷

Thank you, H.
It does hang on.
I was going for the sound of a blues song.
I guess that's nothing new, but I don't know if it came through.
Thanks again.

Thank you so much, I.
I've feel so lucky considering my circumstances and seeing the havoc and misery that's out there. This disease effects so much more than physical health, as folks are struggling with the financial repercussions and so many related issues.
Thank you again for your kind comments.

I'm from India and in my country too I can see what a havoc is this disease wreaking on a wider scale.... Directly and indirectly most of the population is being affected... For example, the lock down has not only brought down the economy down hill but it has been the cause of mental disorders like depression.

"I was going for the sound of a blues song.

Hell, yeah it did, right from the very first stanza through to the end.
Glad to know you are through the worst of it.

Thanks so much, Johnny.
It is a terrible disease --even the moderate case I've experienced -- and sad that the crisis became a political tool here.
The US is foundering, with no one at the top willing or capable of steering the ship.
But...the blues live on.
Thank you again.
Stay safe and well.

It's a horrible truth, this poem. I had no idea you were diagnosed with Covid. A few of my friends who were say it was hell, absolute hell, particularly the lack of energy they felt. Thankfully, I have lost no one I know despite the touch and go.
I am happy to know you're returning to health, Jav.

Thanks, Ahavati.
True, it is a miserable illness. I have been with it over two weeks and though much better have little stamina. My job is "essential" so I still have one, though I'm worried about going back and may need another few days to recuperate. I am well trained -- it's difficult to stay down. But as I have said, I am fortunate, and my heart goes out to all those effected by this monster.
Thanks again, and stay safe.
