A Boy Went To Heaven Today

In a city, today at 11:am in a nearby town, An elementary student took his own life down. In sorrow and anger I do murmur and walk. Children do not die of Covid, such b.s. talk. The Unions just want more cash for teachers. Children have falling grades, stop saying school on a screen is at all sane! The Union can pay for his final expenses. He's not the first to do this. Suicide is no way to go. Kids need one another not a teacher's face on a screen. Politicians should fund all suicides. Lockdowns driving people out of their minds. Who wants to live like an animal caged? My heart weeps crimson tears. He was my grandsons's age. This fills my heart with rage and hot tears. But you and I know lockdowns will expand, As socialism infects this great land! What good is poetry, as children and adults end their lives. Lockdowns will kill yet more. Unless we stop hiding behind our doors! We all need human contact and parents cannot take the place of peers. Our governors, with their fat heads up their rears. CNN lies with death count fears? Pray for his mother...no son this Christmas or any other. No Birthday, no Mother's Day. To Covid nonsense, he eternally....pays, The moon sheds tears of lost young blood tonight. May it cause us all a sleepless and restless night.              12/2/2020               6pm PST

Yes they have trashed the world and blamed citizens. Power is all, no matter who is harmed. So we can play victiom and weep, or realize we heave a choice to make it better,. Few will have the soul to do this. But they are out there and the pen iis mightier than the lying mouths on the media, which we believe. Pangie xx

Politics and media is complicit. Only out for themselves, not the good of mankind.

Worse, Kim is that we worship them? The good they do is blocked out. Especially if you a a believer in God or the Constitution Rand Paul is good and attacked by Antifa? Violence and fraud are new winners.,, Pangie

Tragic indeed, Pangie, and too often this is happening all over. Thank you for recording your thoughts on this matter in poetic form - Bob

Bob, these are my thoughts, my desperation that People are intoxicated by fear. We may lose our nation and all required to wear masks and Mao suits under the dictates of a madman. You know DC will remove the great memorials! Fear...the Trojan Horse. Pangie xx

Hi Panagiota, It saddens my heart to hear that another young person is gone because of suicide. I agree kids need to be in school where they can make contact with their teachers and peers. However, I'm not comfortable sending my kids back to school without Covid getting under control. Is everything on the news real? No, but Covid is real and I have had Covid cases in my own family. My heart goes to the young man's family. I hate to hear this tonight- Alexis
