Positive OVER AND WITH double-negative

clear and explicit explanations
of the game-rules...

I I write because I’m aware of the fact 
I’m losing time
I’m Struggling to gain insight 
In a world that’s blind
Outlining the blueprint 
that’s stuck in my mind
Acting with a reason
And intention to rhyme
An intention...

Heavily Damaged: 10,000 feared dead, 
cadavers of ripped children litter on the streets, 
Ormoc City, 
Totally Devastated: People are desperate, 
the streets are infested with terrible hunger, 
looting is everywhere,

when coronavirus (COVID-19)

Without a word to say
Only the voices of winds howling "look how they sway, sway"...
Puddles It ruddles it will stay...
Never will it go away...

Rain is coming...
But thunder...

Along luscious green acres banks steep grade
(in close proximity to 
Petticoat Junction) naturemade
Perkiomen Valley watershed,
verdant landscape displayed
yours truly, (a garden variety
proto human) arrayed

solely donning birthday suit,
whose fifty plus shades hair gone grayed,
i.e. one infinitesimal measly...

Life, where? Everywhere, never pulled back
Go on, live on, wildlife soars in the world,
Further, the ship swirls, sinks, vanishes.
A circular waterfall, something pulled me into the depths, 
a woman pulled me to death.

and all the stories that we hear
of Clinton's crimes, and Trump's remarks,
and how the media embarks

on efforts to distort the truth –

For such a time as this: 

…when enhanced community quarantine
causes angst, grievously torturing…

...when lockdown brings ennui
of senseless boredom that seems to be forever…

RHAPSODY OF THE NIGHT

Darkness she dawns her costume preparing for her play.
The stars gleam and glitter on the blue stage.

Time
Nothingness in it belies
A continuum, uncanny
In all lives it defines
Love, hate, rage and litany

A motion on its own
Sweeping, inescapable

Yet it counts life
It’s a thing of enigma
That heaven had...

Weaknesses offset by strength.
A missing part connects two hearts,
Imperfect, but now complete

Hope and dreams unimagined
take root...

From my wandering unbalanced brain
What's that you say? I seem totally normal?

No pills can help, doc said...
