Another Covid Holiday

Another COVID Holiday in an ever increasing rate of replanting the seed was spreading through the population a seed so small as to be microscopic should remain insignificant no outward effect dramatic though COVID’s social influence global impact near atmospheric I eagerly wade into holidays mandated to reduce pollination vacation disappointingly domestic unloading washing machine tanglematic hanging clothes almost robotic reducing risky situation we look now to the years as they’re turning our mutual recent history undesired to be re-enduring we hope upon new calendar with optimistic collective yearning for a year of blank pages devoid of COVID’s social manipulation HAPPY 2022 may it be kind to us

I like the last stanza. We are all desiring that kindness. I enjoyed your interpretation of the past 2 years or so. It hasn't been easy for sure. I hope this New Year will bring more delight into your days. Sara

there it is at the very end: social manipulation. That is really all it amounts to and it worked SO well on the masses. In reality, the death rate for both 2020 and 2021 was no different than in any other year!!!

Hello it's me.' You know me.' nice shiny face country hat, mottled Cat.' Now that re-introductions are over I see your comment Above, it's on the money.. But sad stuff really Andrea.) What With the jabs (working on the many) who have covid since the Take up of that elixer & it was done so fast..' but not if you see US Colonel Matt Hepburns involvement working on it from 2011 If I remember right.? I'll re-check later though its all getting Blurred again in my thoughts the pro claims that early on not Only said the 2 jabs were 98 percent effective..and not only on The virus but they would probably cure illnesses you might Have anyway..' Don't that story pop up with the medicine show In the wild West.'
