Not the Final Solution

And so the soup’s, coming to a boil 
Very difficult, not to get embroiled 
Rumour has it, Hitler’s on the rise 
Goose stepping, in poetic disguise 
Jackboots kick open, doors of rhyme 
Acrostics embed, swastikas sublime 

Vaxxers accused, of a new blitzkrieg 
Covid deniers, offer vapid intrigue 
Enigma encoded, in sonnets of fear 
Lady Haw Haw, sobs crocodile tears 
All together poets, salute Sieg Heil!
Conspiracy theories, jabs are on trial 

Contagious haikus, causing upset 
Biden instigating, everyone’s death
God’s gone paranoid, so we’re told 
Playing both sides, to steal our souls 
Armband stars, equal covid passes
Monoku writers, killing the masses

Limericks are evil, piled full of poop
No place for crap jokes, tainting soup 
Poets reincarnated, in nom de plume
Childish dark magic, one has assumed 
So do ends, always justify the means
In war and pandemic, mania’s routine

Gershon Wolf Date: 12/14/2021 8:00:00 PM Good reprise of an unnecessarily egregious situation. Bwana, bwana. Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 12/15/2021 1:06:00 AM Only so much one can take Gershon, But calling poets Nazis and Communists in a blanket sweep, because some of us believe in the covid pandemic and vaccines, was a goose step too far, cheers David

Bill Baker Date: 12/14/2021 5:02:00 PM You got it all in this I think. Nice poem, David First visit, I'll be back Bill Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 12/15/2021 12:44:00 AM Delighted to make your acquaintance Bill, crazy days indeed, cheers David

Christopher Flaherty Date: 12/13/2021 5:53:00 PM Death , Birth and Taxes all routine isn't that how the saying goes David. Seems like the current times we are living in are coming up with new creative ways in which to wage war. Via new online media outlets where proof is surplus to requirements of posting. Routinely Login to Reply Christopher Flaherty Date: 12/14/2021 10:05:00 AM Who called him a Nazi David. And for exactly what reason ??? Let me know please I'm interested i find it both sad and hilarious at the same time. Waging war in the same tired old ways David Kavanagh Date: 12/14/2021 1:11:00 AM You’ve said it Christopher, proof is surplus to requirements, but paranoia is fine, we got to help each other through this covid, not slam all and sundry whilst claiming a God is with them, Milton has been branded a Nazi, see his comment below, yeah the soup is well and truly boiling over, cheers David

Sotto Poet Date: 12/13/2021 4:51:00 PM This great poem makes numerous compelling rebuttals. Some aspects are explored positively. Your poem is exceptionally well-written, revealing something utterly new and unique. David. Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 12/14/2021 1:00:00 AM Thank you Lasaad, bizarre are these times we live in, people queuing day in day out to get jab boosters, to prevent catching and spreading the virus, they don’t get a tattoo on their arms or deported to the east, like some anti vaxxers are making out, but yet are called nazis, cheers David

Tom Cunningham Date: 12/13/2021 2:15:00 PM This is a hoot David, should I be building an air raid shelter in my garden lol. Tom Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 12/13/2021 2:22:00 PM Brilliant Tom, lol I never thought of adding an air raid shelter in, although doodlebugs did enter my mind, watch this space, cheers David

Jenna Logan Date: 12/13/2021 1:55:00 PM Your lines are a monologue, worthy of a stage. LOL David! Points wonderfully made and appreciatively taken. Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 12/13/2021 2:20:00 PM Heya Jenna sometimes it takes a monologue and a platform, to get one’s point across, glad you understand where I’m coming from, not everyone will, but hey that’s life, cheers David

L Milton Hankins Date: 12/13/2021 1:54:00 PM (chuckling) Yep, lots of truth here, David. I've blocked three or four in the last few days. Don't need their crap! Incidentally, this poem is exceptionally well-written, IMHO. I'm determined to write the best poetry I can write, to make PS the best poetry site on the net, and to stop giving the yahoos a platform. I'm also resolved not to write any negative stuff...if I can help it!!! Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 12/13/2021 3:03:00 PM Weird thing Milton, nazism and communism are implacable enemies, poles apart, yep she’s lost the plot altogether, L Milton Hankins Date: 12/13/2021 2:28:00 PM Yep, I can believe it because she did call me a Nazi! And...a communist sympathizer. Didn't ever realize I was so bad a guy as that. Oh, well.... David Kavanagh Date: 12/13/2021 2:14:00 PM Thanks Milton, propaganda madness is taking over, can you honestly believe anyone in their right mind would call fellow poets nazis, just because they don’t agree with their outlandish views, Cheers David
