Bravery Long Lost

guys~
get a grip
don’t be wimps
it’s not like
you’re being asked
to suit up for war

stay indoors and let this pass
stay out of the way of
brave people doing their work

While there are those being granted freedom from work to avoid this invisible germ warfare, there are others suited up and fighting this war on your behalf within hospital wards, shame on the moaners and groaners, on-point words, Line . . .

Absolutely, Indiana. It actually feels odd to have all our comforts.

Interesting... It's not conventional war, but it has all the earmarks of terrorism--- bio-terrorism. I don't believe that it's from what the Chinese eat for a second. Details of my thoughts/proof are not for public consumption... Cheers and Good Cheer, Line! :) Gershon

It has many aspects of war- but this enemy is invisible and dangerous- we are all united against this enemy and I pray we are victorious Stay safe and best regards.
