No-one can deny that excess deaths are now occurring
I don't know what it will take for some to do the research!
To see the evidence presented by experts, doctors, nurses,
Morticians, witnesses, oncologists, cardiologists, etc.
Denial will not help humanity or anyone you care about
Crimes against humanity are happening as we speak
The earth is shaking from injustice, people dying suddenly
My heart breaks for those suffering and those deceived
I have witnessed this happen and I will never be silenced !
It is brutal worrying about people we love and cherish
It is treacherous watching healthy children and athletes killed
I cannot hold back on this topic anymore, haunting as it is
I refuse to ignore evidence that is found all around us
I cry, I hurt, I pray as I watch our world changed forever
For those who are offended by what I say, I am sorry
My conscience is more important

In younger days, my doctor calls
Were few and far between.
A checkup visit wasn’t ever
Part of my routine.
But aging changes all of that
For everyone is trying,
By seeing every specialist,
To staunch the fear of dying.
So now a dermatologist
Will check a brand-new mole.
Suspicious bloodwork? You’re in
Hematologist’s control.
Of course, the gynecologist
Must get a yearly see
And ophthalmologists and those
In rheumatology.
Let’s not forget those stress tests
Cardiologists insist on
And also the urologists
Whose plastic cups get pissed on.
Most gastroenterologists
See clients up in years
And certainly psychiatrists
See seniors for their fears.
I wonder if we might be
Better off just saying “**** it”
For all these doctors can’t prevent
Our kicking of the bucket.
Pain
Tightened cardiac
Pressing excruciating benumbing
Confusion hospital cardiologists nurses
Trusting settling tweeting
Reassured confident

My Pain
I should not look through her eyes
I should not admire her pleasant lips
When she talks, smiles, or winces
I should not savor her attractive smell
I should never commend her shiny body
She bewitched me like a crazy person
I hate the day that I crossed her path
I can’t block her out of my heart
She destroyed my heart’s protection
She reduces my life expectancy
Her seduction drives me to the doctors
Anesthesiologists can't alleviate my pain
Cardiologists suggest to change my heart
Psychiatrists prescribe me her kiss
God tells me that she’s my medicine
I hate her presence just like her absence
She’s a powerful sweet witch of love
I avoid sleeping because she’s there
Even though she’ll make me suffer to my death
I won’t give up until I get my prescription on her lips
