Covid beaten
Covid beaten
Oh no I got a cough, my chest feels like it's kind of tight, I'm struggling to get my breath, I'm not well tonight
Temperature is raging, my head is pounding too, I better call the doctor out, what else can I do
He took a swab and sent it off, it came back with bad news, I have Covid 19, so all visits I must refuse
Carers all dressed like space men, come in every day, I'd be lost without their help, what more can I say
Now starts the fight back, I'm not ready to let it win, I'm far to selfish to just give up, so let the...

Update - A Solution At Last!
As my readers will know, a fire broke out on the floor above my flat on Sunday 6 March, causing vast structural damage. As a result, I had to leave my flat due to safety and I found myself homeless.
Although I wasn’t present at the time of the fire and was later able to retrieve my belongings, I felt unable to cope with the prospect of ongoing displacement, especially as London rents have risen sharply over the past few years and finding alternative accommodation proved almost impossible.
I spent nearly eight weeks in hotels, struggling with acute panic attacks. During...

fux noose
The stupid fux on faux noose
Telling folks it's all a hoax
You can all go back to church
You must all go back to work
I hope they all go straight to Hell
Republikilling fuels the flames of fools
Trumpeting the lies of The False Prophet
Concerned only with personal profit
While he fires everyone who questions myths
And everyone with answers not the same as his
How many more will die while they deny
The truth that uniting through social distancing
Is the only safe means of coexisting
Telling folks it's all a hoax
You can all go back to church
You must all go back to work
I hope they all go straight to Hell
Republikilling fuels the flames of fools
Trumpeting the lies of The False Prophet
Concerned only with personal profit
While he fires everyone who questions myths
And everyone with answers not the same as his
How many more will die while they deny
The truth that uniting through social distancing
Is the only safe means of coexisting

anxiety vi (love and dying)
Sometimes it feels like
I can't get a break
I've been sick for months now
random viruses, cold, flu
anxiety depression
funnily enough no covid
I worry about my health
mentally
physically
spiritually
My dad's had covid twice now
he's in hospital with a cough
that won't go away
and needs oxygen to breathe
they say he might have lung cancer
but can't run tests
until he's covid negative
We're not good with "I love you's"
so I text him
asking if he's doing okay
and that I hope...
I can't get a break
I've been sick for months now
random viruses, cold, flu
anxiety depression
funnily enough no covid
I worry about my health
mentally
physically
spiritually
My dad's had covid twice now
he's in hospital with a cough
that won't go away
and needs oxygen to breathe
they say he might have lung cancer
but can't run tests
until he's covid negative
We're not good with "I love you's"
so I text him
asking if he's doing okay
and that I hope...

Covid-19
Wash your hands,
wear a mask,
stay apart.
Lockdown starts,
cases fall,
lockdown ends.
Live your life,
but there's no
going back.
wear a mask,
stay apart.
Lockdown starts,
cases fall,
lockdown ends.
Live your life,
but there's no
going back.

The 2020 Chip Down Blues
The torture tune of trauma town
Rings in my midnight ear
To say to me when chips are down
All merriment will disappear...
When introverts, not the warrior,
Will be the ones that thrive
When city streets get gorier
As intubations survive...
More so than those who shriek and shout
In a rally or ugly crowd
With an unwitting spittle spout
Ever and anon too proud...
Since salvation comes, as you will see,
Packaged in humility.
Rings in my midnight ear
To say to me when chips are down
All merriment will disappear...
When introverts, not the warrior,
Will be the ones that thrive
When city streets get gorier
As intubations survive...
More so than those who shriek and shout
In a rally or ugly crowd
With an unwitting spittle spout
Ever and anon too proud...
Since salvation comes, as you will see,
Packaged in humility.
