This company action, has thwarted the slaughter of almost four hundred B C
Ostriches in Canada, that are essential
Key workers? In helping with avian flu
Antibody rescearch.' My hat off to you
Jeremy..You are a true leader; and your
Co-workers are hero's also.' I wish your
Firm all the sucesss possible.'
Simple living and High thinking is my steadfast motto
You need a powerful microscope to take my stunning photo;
Uninvited though, I do enter.. the cozy home of my host
When I come out with a brand new coat, the host, alas, is a ghost
Well hello people.Listen everybody.
I got tested for Covid antibodies
A simple test.My blood I did give.
When it came back,Hooray,I was positive!
I'm positive positive .POSITIVE POSITIVE POSITIVE!
I am now immune.The antibodies protect me.
I don't have to worry cause the virus can't infect me.
I will give my blood for plasma therapy.
People who are sick will benefit from me.
I'm positive positive POSITIVE POSITIVE POSITIVE!
So,run do not walk.Don't wait another hour.
Get tested today,because knowledge is POWER
POSITIVE POWER!

Parasitically satirical
Politicians can’t decide and seem confused,
while talking every day about the curve,
and how it must be flatter for each city,
so every hospital can better serve.
They stand before the cameras every morning,
using words supporting mitigation,
assuming all will catch the Covid virus
as it infects our fragile population.
But then they change the subject and direction,
replacing curves within their presentation,
with antibody tests and contact tracing
designed for goals of full eradication.
There is no clear-cut plan they say to follow,
just confusion from each daily briefing.
Back and forth from one plan to the other,
while every one’s frustration is increasing.
Eradication cannot be successful
in a complex modern free society,
and any plans accordingly are fruitless,
will not eliminate this malady.
Most people can’t afford to not be working,
so now they’re slowly opening each business,
while talking still about eradication,
as if more tracing will defeat this sickness.
Their unannounced shift to eradication
betrays their trust and is impossible.
Although designed to meet their expectations,
It’s proving to be unsustainable.
The World Is Healing From Coronavirus
We hide smiles behind the facemask
In cold wind virus spread in open spaces
A touch could turn into a snafu touch
As noise turns into silence
Mother earth is breathing
The way we look at it
It is rebuilding and helping us to retrace
The whip-like tail, we inflicted
It released its own antibody
An infective agent to restore its system
Sad to say, we are the aim of the attack
Which gives an end to human capacity
Yesterday was gloomy, saying that sky is sick like us
The well-wishers and care help regain one’s strength
Then we welcome each day a sunny day
To picture the sky as happy light blue yonder
The birds gracing the garden again
I can see the blue and clear sky overhead
Less travel in the land, sea, and air
Clearing smog that hangs over the city
Family members once again bonded
In this sad scenario, everyone prays
To be able to reconnect again
With a tender smile, touch, and cozy talk
We pray that all return to normal soon
Keeping in touch means so much to us
Take care for we still need to grow old
It is a commitment to creating more memories together

Pain it's back again
Coursing through each vein
Pain it never leaves
Consuming me for its needs
Pain hangs on me
Theres no where to hide or flee
Pain my bestest friend
Haunting me to no end
Pain emotional physical
It's no luxury or paradisiacal
Pain lies in wait
Pouncing no need for bait
Pain arrives unannounced
Staying for hundreds of rounds
Pain has no relief
Its nothing but a life theif
Pain haunts my life
With destruction and strife
Pain owns my mind and body
With no antidote or antibody
Pain rules my whole life
I just wish I could have the sweet relief of the afterlife.
I have two legs and four hands but I am no Keshav
I have four brothers at birth, but I am no Pandav
I guard the good and kill evil, but I am no Sarvani
I kill with my Fab weapons, but I am no Himaani
Carcinoma, melanoma sick twins
Inside their innocuous hosts grin
For surface tension brings no chagrin
Another, common diagnosis will time lend
Healthy cell structures to amend
Immune systems with guile befriend
In state of denial, journey begins
Signs not to the human eye hidden
But worry has healthy mind forbidden
Asbestos, carbon dioxide, dioxin
Immune filters will certainly fend
Smoking, over eating, years of gin
Only near life's end wages will append
Per chance through pore seeps pathogen
To rally antibody troops always an antigen
Discolored figment under skin
Bright pigment from allergen
A red rash can dry with benzine
Yellowish splotch need carotene
Brownish bump harmless toxin
Black mole surely genetic origin
Benign cyst lacking needed vitamin
Purplish lesion can cure with Neosporin
Small lump only a gland that's swollen
Goiter rarely takes malignant spin
