Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

Omicron

Omicron

He has arrived
to eat the ignorant

a few cells mutate
more intelligence

than the masses
who murder their neighbors

since when have truck drivers
become virologists?

Another mutation, more trouble. Wonder if my booster serves anything now. This pandemic will never end it seems.

I attended the funeral of a very good mate of mine today. He died as a result of Covid despite taking all the precautions he could: mask, jabs etc. he suffered with underlying heart problems. I'd like to dedicate your poem Arthur to Eddie and hope those who don't believe in the disease or the reasons for being vaccinated one day come to understand the true reality of it all. Cheers - Gary

Those who are not enlightened, yet act as if they are, are merely trying to seem intelligent... behavior that shows their lack of knowledge.

good one Art, have you noticed the anagram of Omicron is 'moronic' thats the behaviour of our government not insisting on face mask, distancing etc - it is rife on our Island, so far no omicron but give it a week or so - oh they are insisting on flow tests 12 hrs after arrival - make them do it on the plane when they land, its not rocket science! arghhh:-( hugs Jan xx

I have heard about the anagram thing, you think it's About the gov's reaction to covid or /Novelle flue? as I first heard it called Jan You think it was made to push the gov into harder moves but who? Would have made the anagram?
