Creeping Virus
Creeping Virus
Closer, closer now
Each day brings us closer
To those in our hearts and minds
To those in foreign lands
Our hearts and love reach out
To hold, to hug, to feel again
What we haven't done
For so long now
This bug, this virus, this black death
Keeps us apart
To tear away our hopes and our desires
Keeps families apart
Keeps loved ones from basic needs
Spreads fear and mistrust
Like wildfire in a summers heatwave
This incidious creeper
No one escapes
As it grows and multiplies
Slowly touching
Everyone we hold dear
Marking us with it's poison
Or making us it's unwanted carrier
People hide away
In their homes
In their own self made prisons
Behind their masks
Waiting patiently
For early release, for pardon
For forgiveness
For sins they have not comitted
Is there hope?
There is always hope
Never fear
Though time will be
Against so many
A hero will come, have no doubt
Batman to the rescue
A jab, a simple jab
Is all it'll take
To kill the black death
Once and for all
That is of course
For those of us with
With more than straw or sawdust between our ears
Closer, closer now
Each day brings us closer
To those in our hearts and minds
To those in foreign lands
Our hearts and love reach out
To hold, to hug, to feel again
What we haven't done
For so long now
This bug, this virus, this black death

To tear away our hopes and our desires

Author's Note
This started as something else, a good man, a friend of ours died in the US, we couldn't go there. Our hearts broke.
This virus stopped us. This damm virus that an be controlled. But its the people who decides if this should live r die.
Take the damm vaccine, don't be a spreader, its not Aids, it doesn't discriminate, don't just practice safe sex, practice safe Living.
It's not just by touch it spreads, it's airborne, wear a damm mask and get your damm vaccine shot.
Forgive me, I do like to mouth off any chance I get :),
So that's how this poem took flight,, be safe ❤️

I absolutely love the depth of conviction and righteous feel.... strong and potent.... Being crystal clear, in point and purpose is refreshing and open. Sometimes metaphors, similes or just plain creative license can get a reader 'lost in the weeds' so to speak. Your fortitude and unabashedness make me want to cheer, YESSS!! As this is a topic near and dear to my heart. Protecting those you love and yourself, should be an absolute no-brainer, it freaking boggles my mind that there's so many who have gotten swallowed up by a dangerous narrative mostly created by propaganda (and spread by total lying hypocrites, who they themselves are vaccinated) designed to purposely frighten and further divide.
This was a hefty and poignant first piece to share and I'm seriously glad you did. I am deeply sorry for the loss of your friend due to this virus. I understand that pain and my heart aches that ANYONE else does too. Sadly, there are far too many of us that can
Take care, be safe and fantastic job!
I look forward to reading more in the days ahead
