Cure Is Coming

the world is on pause
holding its breath
while heroes
work their magic
they’ll find a cure
of that we’re sure

but things never to be the same
our innocence
and vulnerability
both took a catastrophic hit

People will jab themselves like maniacs or take untested drugs. That frightens me more. Cures? Like in cancer? When people die from chemo and radiation? Worse than CV for myself, anyway, is the concept of forced vaccinations by the Fed. Rainbow Wishes~ Panagiota xx
