Notes About The Poem

Oocysts (parasite eggs) become infectious after 1–2 weeks in the environment
The CDC remains without strong leadership at a critical point in the outbreak response
he made cuts to the CDC (inspectors for pathogens, contaminants in our food) These election deniers shall also deny their responsibilities in keeping Americans healthy, as we recall all the cuts that were made by HIM? We can recall our lettuce.  We can blame the Health & Human Services Secretary that would be, Robert F. Kennedy Jr...as predicted

PARASITE

Oh, overseer of precious population
 waterkeeper 
      'tis
 wastewater
              &debauchery 

Mentor of well being
 &human aid
 
    our youth dying, 
away with immunization
    prominent denier
medicus defiance,
aegrotus, the child,
mentor what is your alliance?

even when he’s cut to pieces, 
a true warrior is one who fights for a cause
he never abandons the battlefield

when injustice becomes law
resistance becomes duty
a true leader leads with strength 
 & compassion

this one hides & denies, lies 
his soul they buy
ruling with his ancient alibies

how can you protect us
with helminths of your own,
our fate in your hands
what is this that commands?

conveyor of danger
binger of skepticism
& lost cause
 begone, bygone
you are not,
 food for thought

Joe Maverick July 31, 2026 at 10:42 PM Well i see or try to both sides of the fence here..And it seems like most people get 'bought out' Anaya. i am sure Of what i know only..And there is a concern about RFK Jnr among those who stood against the ( made in 2007/11 con-vid shots ) ya know the warp speed stuff.? that he is allowing other things to be done, so it seems there is almost nil integrity out there and up there especially.' Sad to say but you or i have not got a hand on the reigns to have a real say..Its what it is..I could tell you more..Oh well all blessings anyway.) I Am Anaya August 1, 2026 at 11:46 AM Cyclosporiasis is NOT under control! 👀 I Am Anaya August 1, 2026 at 7:33 AM Hey Steely Joe, as you read my poem, you know how I feel about the bird brains ruining what once saved many lives, and now the despicable, fowl mouth woman beater who dishonored one of the greatest men, physician-scientist and immunologist Dr Fauci, I'm heartbroken. I could tell YOU a lot more. Ty for your review, always a wonderment. Blessings

Duke Beaufort July 27, 2026 at 12:51 PM Hi there Anaya! You write elegantly about the insanity we're currently experiencing. Funny that the appeal is that we're giving everyone the right to decide what health measures to take. There's not much explanation that we sometimes need to do things for the common good. I hope neither of us succumbs to any of the diseases that will surge in the coming years. We're being led by people with as much ethics as a potato. Wait....a potato has a better understanding of ethics than the people currently in charge. Take care and sending smiles!! I Am Anaya July 27, 2026 at 9:10 PM Potatoe heads, ha. Dodge cuts is now ablaze in Minesota, thank Elon Musk, not very bright , sabotaged a great plan for fire preventions, measles uproar are leaving children blind. These are our new heads. Ty for reading and reviewing, I enjoy , them all! Smiling back. Blessings

Daniel Henry Rodgers July 24, 2026 at 9:53 AM Dear Anaya, Your poem strikes with that unmistakable force you carry, part indictment, part lament, part warrior-cry. Your voice is bold, unfiltered, and deeply human. You write with the urgency of someone who refuses to look away, someone who knows that naming the danger is the first act of resistance. A powerful, charged piece. Blessings, Daniel I Am Anaya July 25, 2026 at 9:38 PM I was interested in journalism at a time, it's never too late to be a warrioress for better cause, without these injustices, no need for warriors, I have many sides, voices, this boldness is charged by my political stance, much needed. Tyvm, for noticing, dear poet. Blessings

Paige Hind July 21, 2026 at 8:20 PM Yeah, that's awful.. I Am Anaya July 22, 2026 at 10:25 AM It is awful, Paige. The health of every American has been compromised by the new Head of Health Services. This man did heroin all thru college, & had a parasitic pork tapeworm larva, which he contracted around 2010, in his brain! He has 'spasmodic dysphonia' the tongue can protrude when they try to speak, strangling their words. Gag me with a spoon! (I'm very weary about our vaccines, now that he's been messing with his conspiracy theory junk)

Sara Kendrick July 21, 2026 at 2:23 PM It is sad that illnesses that once were under control so that our children would not have them is back on the rise. I remember what the measles were like. I was so desperately sick at about 6 years old. Then when I was 12 years old and I had the mumps which became so bad the doctor said he might have to put me in the hospital if I wasn't better by the next morning. It was a scary time. I got sick the first week that school was out and was sick the first month of summer vacation. Sara K. I Am Anaya July 21, 2026 at 5:26 PM Science & medicine reaserch has kept us alive, so why would we agree to put an end & deprive our youth of it? We need the science research back , let the experts be funded & not forever wars. Sara I'm sorry for you, God bless!
