Anil Deo Poet Tanka

Geography of a Pandemic

This is a tanka, because Canada is "tanking":

I
There are 3 countries that are really "North America" -
Canada, Us, and Mexico (Most forget Mexico is North!)

II
"Stainless Steel" Lady Mcgreavy updated me on the news from Canada -
"The American Pandemic has passed the permeable borders"

III
Mexico was always bad with policing, law and order bull
After George Floyd, Canada cops are killing First Americans

IV
Canada has upped the ante - is it THE END ?
RCMP are killing - by guns - First Nations Women. Lord!

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 14, 2020 at 3:42 PM At least the conversation is happening in Canada, the recent incidents highlight just how fallible we humans are, which for me is the scariest thing when it comes to guns; laws are under review. We are not "an armed" population with a huge gun lobby, so I do have hope. xomo Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 14, 2020 at 3:42 PM Btw, I'm a Mc, not a Mac ;),
