We the Sheep

This 'COVID 19'
  is Trump's fault
The Dems say
  because he delayed

The GOP maintains
  The Dems went insane
Each party blaming the other
  as 'We the People' suffer

And who among us trusts
  the reports from China or Iran
Can we be sure this is not a plot
  to bring down Washington
 
Will we ever know the truth
  -- Assuredly not, for
World leaders pay us no heed
  ~ We the sheep to slaughter

Nice write Gershon & to the point of the many unanswered questions. As bad as the Corona virus is, I hope it was a natural occurrence & not the Chinese experimenting in the lab with germ warfare or to use as a means of disrupting other countries.

Hope you are right, but I am not so optimistic. Thanks, Dennis. ~ Gershon

I am not under-reacting, over-reacting or even reacting yet. I have learned.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I moved a lot of my money into cash in January because I didn't trust what the Chinese government was saying. Great poem. Stay frosty my friend.

The most accurate account I've read to date. Mass hysteria orchestrated by the media, we are indeed sheep if we allow ourselves to be. Great write Gershon...Ron.

Gershon, Topic of the year, but don't call the virus COVID-19. That is the name of the disease. They are reporting a new mutation of the virus SARS-COV-2. We have 'S' and 'L'. Pray you don't get 'L'. Stay safe Soup, stay informed. And for Pete's sake, stay off cruise ships. -R

LOL, yes everything is okay at our sanctum. Maybe wash your hands more. But you may want to peel that 'Made in China' sticker off your boat. -R
