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 By David Kavanagh

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

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

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

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.

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

Brilliant Tom, lol I never thought of adding an air raid shelter in, although doodlebugs did enter my mind, watch this space, cheers David

Your lines are a monologue, worthy of a stage. LOL David! Points wonderfully made and appreciatively taken.

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

(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!!!

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....

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
