Zero-ing in

Ground zero?? Zero tolerance?? Carbon zero??
Zero vision?? A catchisam of the green-religion??
You don't need a passport.!! Not if you've been
Max-xed.! To stay in your country, district, flat!!
Or to enter.!! From wherever! Oh so strange?? In fact
On observation this seems most de-ranged.!!
Yet  maybe however??  its just ( my theory? ) and
We will be assured upon a (building back better)
With a whole new history?)

Hello Joe, what a reflection on the complexities and potential absurdities of contemporary policies and ideologies. I liked how you ask the proverbial question whether these measures truly lead to improvement or if they create a new set of problems and a distorted sense of history. Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Creative work. I have heard about some problems in the UK, and I live in a place that is having problems. Life will be better when Jesus comes to set up His kingdom and really not before. There will be an anti-Christ who will make everyone that is here think he is going to make it better, but it will be lies, deceit and trickery. Sara K
