Some Truths From a Ravaged Ukraine

We hear of a war in Ukraine On the news just again and again There bombs are a'flying There's much fear and kids crying On the streets in a ravaged Ukraine There is grime and much pain in Ukraine They seek hospital beds there in vain Not much help for the weak The only waters in creeks And the death count is bleak in Ukraine Sanitation is bad in Ukraine With no gloves or masks it is plain Covid must be so rife.! Do people fear for each life? Because of all of the germs in Ukraine? Perhaps millions have died in Ukraine? As international relations are strained Why no great; covid strife? We hear of bio labs on ice.. And yet covid's not..big..in ukraine?

Very informative poem, Joe. The conditions are terrible in areas of war. Especially for the children and elderly. There's a price to be paid for those that inflict pain and suffering on others without cause. The hammer will fall! Hope you get better soon my friend. Prayers for a full recovery, Bill

Good of you to make remark Bill' We see the lies, and the Casualty that shouldn't be..' Although the real Truth casualty Time is forever gone by.. Oh and none better to wield the Hammer that smashes the earthly rock in pieces or the Sword that darts from the mouths, of His people He reigns Forever..'

Hi Joe; I have not had Covid, but I did get Sars some twenty years ago, had a very high fever for a couple of days, had to get back to work on docks, but I was weak for a good year after that. So, it was no picnic. Deep state pulling all strings for one world government with their own swine in control. Many politicians, and their families, have made fortunes from Ukraine's corruption, keeping them out of NATO. You ask the right questions.

Who can be trusted..? One thing I don't think has been looked at Is the start was to bring out 'Experts? Putting adults in a learning mode, as they explained they really knew nothing about This (new virus)' give us a break.. )This shadows elder authority being used as by child abusers, then they were 'your friends' they only wanted to smile and carry on ? There were Ministers travelling on trains keeping trysts (they knew how low risk was) a school yard type peer Pressure was the driver it went from personal choice to herd mentality.. And they say Epstien Had perverted accomplices in Government circles (well who would guess?)

Joe God got you through the bouts with the so called flu. I love your truth in this piece. They are evil men bringing in New World Order through wars, you watch how this gets worst and turn into a much bigger war, which they want, thats their goal stock up on food and gas. Its coming the great reset. God bless you my friend...

I really like this, Joe, and reading comments below, sorry you got covid twice. My hubbie had quite a bout with it. I wonder why I never got it from him. I was taking lots of good supplements and I have never worried about it. So maybe people are right about it being worse if you are stressed!

Hi Joe. Well written! I see the comments below. I am sorry to hear about the virus twice. I hope you are feeling much better. I had covid in April, 2020 and got hit pretty hard, on oxygen in hospital. I do believe stress harms our bodies a lot and wears us down. I can understand what you are saying, including about Soros Take care :)

I think there are many evil men Harry.. we know from Christ humans are trapped in sin per se soo I'm thinking of Men like soros as well.. Have all These leaders been to the ww2 Death camps and laid flowers Maybe even shed tears.? I think Yes is the answer.? So you can See Riccardo and Hoodies Task in that light or should that Be nightshade.? They need all The help possible.' To shake The true Aussie spirit up.)

It would seem there's no time for testing or results since everyone is running away from the threat of death of another kind. One more deadly and immediate. Makes me wonder what happens if covid was present in those who fled, and if so, what terrible numbers will be inflicted with the germ. An expressive poem, well thought out, Joe.

Yes better that bout was detaching an eye retina, it was only apparent once I came out the other side 5/6 weeks it took Yet those who were with me never got it.. Its start was 19 Dec 2019 till early Feb?2020 So no ppe equip they laundered My sweat soaked sheets all Used The same utensils and bathroom No one else caught it.' I'm immune now.. But that means if You get it it's 70percent less bad I found that out three weeks ago Whereas I'd thought immune was No virus.' Maybe for some that's So' I am still quite stressed so Perhaps that's why the second Infection began lasted 5days? I don't mean to bore its just I do Feel a responsibility to inform.'

I'm very sorry you had to deal with such a bad case of covid. I've always been concerned by how different people have suffered from different levels of the virus, and I agree that stress makes matters worse in every illness. I had a mild case, much easier to deal with than the flu or even a cold. I hope you are better now, Joe.
