Enmasked Faces

I'd much rather just go shopping and play.
But, alas,hordes of humanity enmasked? 
I wish not to see!
Nor my own masked countenance
In a mirror be.

Fear runs thick as dark sludge, just everywhere.
Vaccination stations, injectors, rule, who cares?
Methinks, clotting blood?
Not for this crotchety fool.

The Lord will take me one brisk sunny day.
His servant shall not into her crimson blood allow to run,
Poisonous liquid promises that protect no one!

Heinous lies, a vaccination nation?
Not by this poet, nor do I sleep in foolish, fearful, death
anticipation.

Each must decide for himself, make a choice!
Let us respect each individual's voice!

I hate wearing a mask. I hate seeing others with masks. You can't tell if others are happy, sad, pleasant, unpleasant, etc. Masks seem to make people devoid of emotion. I hope we will soon turn to being able to recognize each other and emotion. I agree. We must all make our own decisions on this. I like this poem.

Tbanks for being on the same page. Others, love the diapers on their face.and are terrified to live without one. It is even worse if you have a hearing problem! Sorry, Madelyn, but I see FEAR and LIES scored big. Plus people waiting, dying to get vaccinated. Many nations going into the toilet. They bought the bullet! Each still can choose. If people are afraid! Stay home! All states with lockdowns have highest death rates. People do not get it. A vavccination is no prevention against Covid. But people think that? Yes, they do! Covid is the new god? Disgusting! Hugs, Pangie xx

Nobody yet knows if it will cause problems in the future and hopefully it wont. But so far those who've had it haven't shown any life threatening signs. Tom

Hundreds are dead, Tom! I have no idea why drug companies don't say so. Oh, I forgot! Profit. There are all manner of side effects. But as I said...each person has the right to choose. Pangie
