Poems about a Pandemic

Poems about a pandemic, including coronavirus (covid-19). Poetry about an epidemic of a disease, and the effect it has on society. Poems about the best and worst of human nature, and the fragility of our species, when a pandemic emerges.

EXMAS!
Seems like
Christmas, for some
Is simply to die for!

Arty at The Party
Charley Crockett is the
Quentin Tarantino of
Country Music
and Country Music is
something I
discovered
sitting on
the patio of
Whiskey Red’s in
Marina del Rey drinking
Heal the Bay IPAs
I can’t remember a
time when I didn’t
drink myself to
sleep every
night
a diary set to art
mainstream vs.
the truth
I know what the
sickness is:
complete and
utter bullshit
a culling of the
weak and feeble
Darwin vs. Marx
dark...

Cabin Fever
Feeling claustrophobic because you’ve been confined all this time?
This pandemic has taken away all the hedonism
Or do you agonize when you can’t get a word in edgewise?
It feels like a sentence you’re unable to finish in prison
Does this paranoia destroy a healthy relationship?
Moods and attitudes get in the way of what used to be elegant
Is it getting the best of you and your imagination?
Maybe this is the true test of character development
Whether it’s madness or sadness as death surrounds the planet
Going a little stir...

Witch Massage
Playing stupid games on
My phone, brains turning
To mush
scientific slush funds for
defunct vaccines and
other atrocities
I hear the voices of
children outside my
window at 8:44pm
on a Monday
shouldn’t they be in
bed? but I guess there’s
nowhere for them to
go in the morning
stupid shit ruling my
whole existence
the price I’ve paid for
two more lines will
probably manifest into
pancreatic cancer
God, time comes for
all of us, doesn’t
it?

The Calm Before The Storm
lulled by silence
a hint of sunshine
traces of spring
the cemetery is silent
the flowers still
the solitary mourners perched by gravestones
alone in their grief
the village stands empty now
its buldings abandoned
each person swallowed into silence
the seasons pass
spring, summer, autumn, winter
new mourners visit each day
to place flowers on the graves
a hint of sunshine
traces of spring
the cemetery is silent
the flowers still
the solitary mourners perched by gravestones
alone in their grief
the village stands empty now
its buldings abandoned
each person swallowed into silence
the seasons pass
spring, summer, autumn, winter
new mourners visit each day
to place flowers on the graves

Like Corona Moves ...
That Clearly Confuse ...
Using Common Sense ...
With ... Using NONSENSE ...
To Serve And Protect ...
Or To EVEN ELECT ...

THE CORONA HURDY-GURDY
Each death is a tragedy
But was predicted by the modelling
We are not responsible
We had nothing to do with it
It was their fault
We are not responsible
We have full health insurance
VIP Doctors
For VIP Patients
We have no fears
For our economy, print money
At our own expense
But was predicted by the modelling
We are not responsible
We had nothing to do with it
It was their fault
We are not responsible
We have full health insurance
VIP Doctors
For VIP Patients
We have no fears
For our economy, print money
At our own expense
