The World of Cannot 2020

Alas, my sweet child you shan't!
Get used to an insane, world of can't!
Our brilliant brains are fully scrubbed,
As sniling and kids in a foaming bath.
Rub-y-dee, rub-y dee-dub.

We've been brain-spanked to
not ask any questions.
We don't dare question numbers!
Oh, no …..shush no!
Just be sure to have a brain
that totally slumbers?

The longer that we shiver and with 
Our house shades …drawn. We hide.
The bigger the number of humaniity
Will most assuredly, under duress die!

And the world left to benevolent, quite 
evil, power and money mad dictators!
Whilst you are so grateful, being lonely, 
Eating humble pie and COVID 'taters!

Each day, the Big Brother on TV you watch !
Hoping like prisoners to be out of your home let out?
No, you won't be, unless you are in a state 
run by sanity.
Very few, supporting our fellow humans of those who
Believe anymore in freedom for humanity.

The flu has been with us all for over one 
hundred years.
We all survived,drank beer and shouted " Cheers! "
We now have become as trembling, little mice.
Robotically, following orders and never think..thrice.


*written in 2020 during Covid  
Dedicated to my Cousin Maggie who died after the vaccine,
and battling a disease, she wrote here for a while.
A bubbling personality. I know we lost poets here,family 
and friends . Condolences to all.

It was called , Covid…so much ..of our liffe here went off
the rails. 
Viruses are named after country of origin, but it wont print?
Sorry…truth is now beyond the  pail ….poet’s comments…..
I can write some nasty poems, but I think more of poetry.
I did not know the politicslly correct wotld sunk to such levity.

Sorrowfully, tjje Worlld of Cannot is fae worse todat. But that 
for another time and another poem. Sadly… Pangie

This is a great write, Pangie! So much to say back then. Covid, covid, covid, like the powers that shouldn't be were trying to brainwash us or something? No, never. Some great lines; covid taters, trembling little mice! People thought giving up their critical thinking and freedom would save the planet. Meanwhile the Feds flooded the planet with $7 trillion in new bucks! Now we have inflation, oh, who could have guessed?

David, people insist wearing on masks NOW?? they do not understand that Covid is dead.Are you kidding me? Now they’re worried about a fungus? Well, we have a lot of immigransts .Sure ….coming in and who knows what they bring?Drving in the car by yourself with a mask on is a sign of true insanity. Don’t worry,Biden would love to have another Covid come around..Then could he could control us all over again.Many places closed because people were too afraid.. yes, it’s all about money again David.More masks, more vaccinations,more dead! And then we can all have the joy of living in fear again! Businesses have close, and will never reopen. Thanks for the Fed. They were more than happy to ignore East Palestine.. how dare he go there and say everything is safe. He has no idea! I was referring to the POTUS at present. Pangie xx

Well said, Pangie. I hope we are not the end of the free thinkers. Suppose we can not say what we think about the issues of our time. We are in big trouble. I fear we are just about there. Have a great Day. XX

R.J. I grewup in a free America, As did you! This is a most cogent issue. Infibual freedoms are going away as “droups” claim only righrs granted by thr Cockroaches are theirs not yours, Some we voted for are taking them away. This is happening in other countries RJ, evil men walk free, the good are jailed,innocents aere killed and …the murderer are hailed. Police are killed….freedom is a sunbject that poets avoid? Popularity trumps freedom? That is sad

Yes, I understand about your auntie. I have been avoiding crowds anything like that. The chiropractor told me as it is to get in the crowd for an older person. Now I will not go into a crowd, I ended up working my flight and new places during Covid and I had to go to the hospital that was terrified. I went to the hospital. They had sense, no patient has to wear a mask in the hallway even then we didn’t wear mask we p wore theface which is a lot better. I was there a full month. Americans can say yes or no to any drug or vaccine. My MP always offers things to me and I say no.. we need to know that doctors cut of the money from the vaccine and drugs. It shouldn’t be that way.. I live at Elena’s house for 5 month after I got home. You remember.. people were dying in nursing homes, and rehab centers.. and I did not want to be around bunch of people. Leno was very generous to and it was a lot of work for her. And I was glad I came home too.. three cheers for Elena!)) Pangie xx

Dear Pangie, Your poem was very powerful, reflecting the grief and frustration we all faced during the pandemic. Your raw emotion creates a stark picture of limitations and loss, yet glimmers with hope for solidarity and truth. Thank you for sharing your powerful voice, keep writing, and never lose sight of a brighter future. With empathy, a fan of your poetry. - Blessings, Daniel

Grreetings, DanielL I think your comment is outstanding. You summarized my poem with great eloquence . Nobody ever said they were a fan in my poetry.. that’s quite amazing. Thank you for staying more than two words. I don’t know how to communicate that way. I don’t like to impress people with cute forms, that’s not my thing. I do my best !to pen with power . A therapist gave me the greatest compliment of my life.. “ when you meet Pangie, you meet Paangie.” And so my poetry is very much me. I am not here to impress anyone.. to win any prizes. To be genuine to me., to me, is my goal. And to write without fesr of rejection. Thank you special ,comment! Warrior Pangie

Thanks Robert you’ve been around the world from and and in the military and you know better than I do what’s going on. What it was like what it’s like now.. I wait for the children growing up in this world. The lack of respect for human life stinks! And it’s an every city. Plus, George Soros, buys these judges who are from a place I can not to make sure but guilty go free, and the innocent courage, or our shot in the Capitol. I do think by this time next year will be under communist rule. But everybody will be happy because they will have TikTok! Well that they government can get info on you, as you to peruse that site.. i got your email will respond in a few houyrs, yes you were roght on the moet,Elena agrees! Pangie xx

So bravely penned, dear Pangie. A lot of people are afraid to speak up, rock the boat. The Covid pandemic caused so much heartache. So sorry for your loss. We won't take any Covid shots. I hope you have a restful evening. Your friend, Regina xoxx

Hi Regina, well I speak up. )) i am not achild. I know freedom is not free. . I didnt realize we are still unfree till I wrote the piem. The USA isheaded for a reconging but there are no hands on deck. It waslike that in 2020 and it isworse now, There are poets here who want to see us killed as we are not vacinnated. I almost fainted when I read that! Edward could get paralyzed for life! There are poets here now stillsuffering from the effects of the vaccine. Dontworry, the current Admin dedicatedto scaring us and being pals with those who want a to destroy humanity. Such nice folks you knowof what I speak xxPangie. Exactly lime fake news
