I Had a Dream

I HAD A DREAM 

A vaccine has been found,
Announced worldwide across all media,
Happiness and euphoria around,
A vaccine has been found!
People group together and cry
For all the people that had to die,
Covid -19 ravaged humanity,
With profane insanity
A vaccine has been found
Happiness and euphoria around
Not allowed to visit our sick
A fear the virus would be quick
To take us down too,
We would then spread this
Venom to more than a few,
Were the authorities not strong
Were they too meek, were they wrong?
A vaccine has been found,
Kneel down and kiss the ground.
And hear the prayers and praise
Such a wonderful sound
Planet earth deserves this break
From this devil like snake
Have we learnt our lesson about greed
That the poor have also to feed,
That water must run for one and all
Hope we never ever again have the gall
To reserve this right for the elite,
Water must abound for billions of feet.
No grievances, bickering and war,
No bullying, fights and blood and gore!
A vaccine has been found
Exhilaration and joy abound,
Just imagine if this could be true,
It will one day, this happiness is surely due,
We have lost fathers and mothers
And sisters and brothers,
And husbands and wives,
And children in the prime of their young lives,
A vaccine has been found,
Our unseen enemy has been downed!

Hi Mike - thank you for a lovely comment. People are wary of the vaccines coming out, they seem to be too sudden and the public become fearful and suspicious. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer

Hi Alexis, today, for the first time I got a bit panicky and felt I was suffocating, we went and sat in the garden for a good two hours among the leafless trees and frost bitten flowers, but I felt I was very blessed by the time we came back into the house - it is Winter here, but we have had a very mild once except for a few freezing days. Blessings my dear friend for all your support, a great and sincere friend. Hugs, Jennifer.

I applaud your dream of a better, wiser, more compassionate world coming from all the suffering of this pandemic. I pray with you that God will end the suffering and the hatred, and unite humanity with the cause of caring for one another, especially the poor. Thank you for your wonderful dream, Jennifer.

A Universal Dream or Trurth Jennifer. Lockdow in S.A is more Draconian than anywhere else on earth . Funny that considering the fact they have absolutely no regard whatsoever for the common rule of law. Jad great expectations for Cyril but the proof is in the pudding and the pudding is quite clearly Vrot unfortunately

Jennifer as much as I appreciate your hopefulness and the sweetness of your poem, I am praying the vaccine they have in store for us never be given to the world. I think people have no idea what they are in for. . . Wish I could explain but you probably won't believe me!

Utopia absolutely, perhaps it will come sooner than what we think my friend. Scientists and the Medical world are working 24/7 to find the magic vaccine needed that will stop hundreds of thousands more from dying - planet earth is bleeding death! Thank you always for your relevant comments SO and your welcome visits. Blessings, Jennifer.

This is one thing that all of the world have agreed upon is a vaccine to stop this deadly virus in its tracks. They are close to getting it available in several countries and over here we have several drug manufactures and several research facilities ready with stage two human trials. I believe that by the end of the year or the first of next year it will be available. We have to listen to the health advisers and hang around home a lot and use mask when we go out. Thanks for dropping by. SK

What a great dream that was, hopefully mankind will change his ways and stop interfering with nature but sadly mankind is too stupid and I fear that we haven't seen anything yet. Hope you're well and enjoy your weekend. Tom

What is so difficult about remembering to wear a mask and self distance and wash you hands in comparison to dying! Even one of the governors in America or the doctors called them idiots. Oh well,c'est la vie! Blessings my friend, Jennifer.
