It wasn't all that long ago when covid
choked the world with it's grasp.
People became anxious, some belligerent, when
asked to merely mask.
While others stock piled toilet paper to
wipe their sorry ass..
A million Americans suffered.
A million Americans passed.
Our health care system became overburdened
with such a daunting task..
People craving answers, turned to the experts to ask.
Our Ex. President gave misinformation with a
racist slant, calling covid the "Chinese virus",
he'd over and over recant.
Innocent Asian citizens were aggressively attacked.
This former President refused to abide by the precautions that
were advised. He wouldn't wear a mask and the medical community he criticized.
How many of us Americans would still be here today, if we had
stupidly injected bleach as this President once did say?
Four years wasn't all that long ago dear friends.
Is this the type of leader that Americans want again??
Moron Criticized
About Trump what we really realized,
He constantly is a pain who criticized,
More than many;
Fat or skinny;
Some say his brain has crystalized.

Constantly Been Criticized
Have you ever constantly been criticized?
And before you knew it then realized
If people with me truly sympathized,
Poems would not appear to be disguised.
I am sure everyone has a certain talent
And all of our efforts are very valiant;
Not only that, you can be self-reliant
When with God's commands are compliant.
Was complimented saying I am gifted
Now both my soul and spirit are uplifted
Found out after poems through I had sifted
Ones lacking love will make people livid.
Our house was decorated with much care
There are Christmas things everywhere
Left items in box which we wanted to spare
Compared to rest found them to be fair.
Current house we live in now do favor
Which is similar to our next door neighbor
Who with on occasion we may rattle a sabre
But usually are always on our best behavior.
Special is God's each silent and quiet night
And in foreign lands there are those that fight
While we are here with Him and all His might
In America that sure is such a glorious sight.
Amen

When a Poem Is Criticized
By Elton Camp
As for all those who will post poetry online
Severe criticism is a thing they can’t mind
We must be prepared for some expert to tell,
“Nice try, but your poem didn’t flow so well.”
Or, “Your writing was really a disgusting sight.
Because the rhymes you selected are just trite.”
Then along will come some inane, carping slob
“Keep writing, but don’t give up your day job.”
Usually, if the critic’s own posting you check
You will find he also didn’t do worth a heck
Much like a eunuch in a harem or a musician deaf,
He tells others what to do, but can’t do it himself
