Standing at the Corners

Submitted by lovedly on Sat, 2020-04-18 05:46

Standing at the Corners of time
no sounds
no chinks
no rhyme
for merry making
there is just no time
but
still one tries to mime
keeping US in mind

Corona is not going to sleep
so why weep
long hours we sleep

now getting used to staying indoors
playing with kids during day
nights with hubby on the floor
love we display
distance loving do maintain
why the future life of family
not sustain
no pain no gain

O Corona
you are a Chronic
What do you do now say

Corona is hustling still
medicines perfumes and nasal throat spray
none have yet thought of till this day

Kill the virus you may
but how to do say

Spanish Flu left no clue
100 years down many rivers
time speedily flew
this virus is nothing new

this virus is nothing new
Stan I thought you had forgotten me

What say ye
it's up to thee
hope you will revisit me

Another aid ('s) to the stabilising of our out of control population,
I heard many years ago that some labs were experimenting with the Flu type Virus..
This Virus cuts a hole in the old people, who, so they say have become a liability to most nations Economies.
Come on wake up world, the death toll is going to be around 2.5% and to my reckoning out of 7 billion people is going to be around 170.5 million people.
The figures are staggering, but here in the UK we are on 800- 1000 deaths per day and no cure in sight,
The total stands at 14000 at the moment, the control is stay at home NO cure and it will take it's bite of our Nation, 1.5 million deaths but spread over a year or so.
The USA well work it out as a percentage of your population, Maybe trump is right to get it over with in one go. 12.5 million ??
All mix together and the whole damn Virus will have worked itself out in three weeks.
Hide My lovely, there is a terror stalking your bones,
With great sadness as I is an old one and due for the chop lol
Your as always, Ian ..

Words can build a nation
