Premium Member The Coronavirus Covid-19 Part Two

The Snohomish County Health District is using the Angel of the Winds Casino's Everett arena.  In order to treat victims of COVID-19.  Whereas in Seattle 300 Army medical core medical professions are being utilized to treat patients not being effected by the Coronavirus.  In Kent and Issaquah motels are being used to intern people affected by it.  They are being monitored by the police. Yet in Kent, a homeless man broke lose and robbed a local convenience store.

The Army medical core is using the Seattle's CenturyLink Event Center and field. Treating non victims of COVID-19.  Field hospitals are being established nationally and world wide.  Treating this contemporary angel of death.

In Yakima twelve to thirteen inmates broke lose because their facility was being impacted by COVID-19.  In several of the most impacted states, such as New York.  The National Guard has been called out to render assistance. As of yesterday, thirty three of the fifty states have been effected by it.    

There have been non essential business in Washington State. Ignoring Governor Jay Inslee's order to close down.  First they will be warned, and finally they could lose their business licenses.  For continued noncompliance.

President Donald Trump and Congress approved a stimulus package for our nation.  Checks should be arriving  direct deposit by the IRS in about two to three weeks.  His stay at home order has been extended to April 30th.

Online schools are becoming the new normal for students.  Even students without home computers can use their teacher's lesson plans.  And in some areas home computers are being delivered to k-12 students.

We should watch, wait and pray for the COVID-19 to pass over us. By vanishing into thin air.

Love as always,

clean as you go.
go you as clean.
c.......a....y.....g
g.....y.......a.....c
naelc..sa...uoy..og
og...uoy...sa...naelc

the pots the pans
your dirty hands
clean the counter
and the floor
wait for supper
clean each area as a chore.
clean your face,
wipe your nose
clean your hands before
 and after you go.
clean the sink
so it won't stink.
sweep and mop the floor.
wipe the walls, and change 
your drawers.
be mindful of grease on the ceiling
and the floor.
close down to clean
that is keen
and smart if you know
whats going on.
bacteria grows
and I suppose
you should have learned
 such as a chore.

Premium Member Avian Tones

When night casts shadows on the ground
The robin, distant, croons
Avian tones, enthralled by dreams
While stars glaze like festoons.

Ringlets of clouds, like puffs on flight
The silhouette of trees,
Nocturnal sighs and murmurings
Are caught up in the breeze.

Then, the new moon appears above
Her white face shyly peeps,
Light breaks so softly, glows the wings
As nest of duskfall sleeps.

Yet birdland rustles through the leaves
Jays trill on bush and thorn;
Where cardinal's imprints pass
Across the dappled lawn.

Soon these plumed wonders of the dark
Close down for daytime's rest,
To gather strength for next eve's rites
Unfolding at their best.

Surrender Poisons of Blindness

One day I will make Syria my home
And one day my cup of tears will be gone.
When bullets have lost wings of flight
And bombs lost zips to unzip,	
Then I’ll speak freely
To hopes and failures-
Promising them a future
When justice will reign
And young speeches become bold.

One day I will make Nigeria my home,
And one day my thumb prints will speak.

When my hand writes freely
And my pen free to dance,
Then I’ll run home
And commit my days to change,
Kneel to her feet and
Obey her sister-‘RIGHTS’.

When my breathe pours out
Without my notice
And my heart beats
Without drum sounds,
Then my shadow
Will be seen in the open
And my voice will be
The picture of what
Ears want to love and
My pen the dancer of words
They’ll all love to watch perform.

One day I will make Somalia my home,
And one day ‘medium of exchange’ will be my train.
When black-faced flies surrender poisons of blindness
And masculine mosquitoes close down the courts of death,
Then you’ll find thousands
Of my feet on sand
And millions of speeches
On which the future germinates.

One day when Africa matures,
She will be the home of the world
Where people learn to love
And study how to care for the born and unborn.


Blue Screen of Death

It’s hit me once again
That Blue screen of death
My computers’ frozen solid
Cores’ dumped it to the disc	
There could be a problem
With my new hardware
Or need an update driver
In the software somewhere




I’m the blue screen of death
Come to strike you down
With my hexadecimal values
That will make you wanna frown
Characters, codes and messages
Written across your screen
Now doesn’t that look freighting
I’m so blue and mean




I must reboot the system
A fatal error has occurred
My computers’ looking miserable
Blue background with white words
I must check with the kernel
Take a crash recovery course
This is my worst nightmare
The dreaded blue screen that taunt's




I’m the blue screen of doom
Come to strike you down
With my hexadecimal values
That will make you wanna frown
Characters, codes and messages
Written across your screen
Now doesn’t that look puzzling
It will make you want to scream




Windows has encountered a problem
And needs to close down
The OS can’t recover
And I’m still hanging around
It’s another critical failure
Let’s create a mini-dump 
I’m bringing down your system
And giving you the hump




I’m the blue screen of hell
Come to strike you down
With my hexadecimal values
That will make you wanna frown
Characters, codes and messages
Written across your screen
Now doesn’t that look lovely
A wonderful blue and white scene




Now I can target anyone
Strike at anytime 
Don’t think that you’ll be safe
Cause you might be next in line

A Sorrowed Past To Always Last

A lot of heartache I have known
Since I was born, till now when grown
Born into a loving family
Not the scenario for me
Something felt wrong in my heart
That I could feel from the start
Out of place and never wanted
All my days were being counted
till I was old enough to leave
For now it would be filled with grief
Pushed around ignored and hated
I was hopeful and had waited
For some kind of love return
That I gave, but I got burned
The affection brought on me
Was out of hurt and misery
By a brother who would fake
Real love and somehow take
My innocence away for good
A situation no kid should
Be put through but it would last
And be part of a sorrowed past
That followed me into my teens
And nightmares when I would dream
No teen romance would be mine
It would take a lot of time
To trust anyone again
One touch I would close down, but then
I finally felt my hand be held
By someone who I could tell
My story and not freak out
Learning what true loves about
But now and then the past creeps back
And I have a new attack
Of memories that linger on
Never going to be gone
From my life and stay forever
Like someones pulling the lever
Opening my hearts door
To the way it was before
And I get scared once again
Putting walls up on a friend
That don't deserve this kind of treatment
But holds on till I can beat it

Look For Solutions

I listened to the story 
of a car factory 
that was going 
to close down

Again I thought
three hundred workers
that are going to be
out of work

If only 
they would work together
Two years before hand
they knew the end was coming

They knew they had 
redundancy money
investing together
could they not, make

Another factory
they have the design skills
they have the engineers
they have the managers

They have the investment
all they need is another idea
another direction
another job

They said on face book
that in fifteen years
38% of the work force
will be replaced by robots

yet people still need jobs
increase the tax
perhaps people could get money
from the dole

yet then company's 
would leave 
for third world economies
where they paid less tax

leave the world to head 
down this path 
and you destroy 
your consumer market

!8,000 children already die
everyday from hunger 
and starvation
what future are you creating

surely the human race 
has a brain
surely we can create 
a better system

Turn people into investors
perhaps they can earn dividends
instead of wages
for the system to work

people need money
to buy their food
as jobs become 
redundant

We need to change 
the way people 
get money
society needs to think

use your brains 
we have a problem
how do we create 
a solution

Premium Member Making Mask, Instead

On the flower petals of the blooming faces,
flutter the patina of chromatic luscious lips,
gracefully painted with alluring shades of lipstick,
the attraction amplified by the dazzling smile. 

In the women’s winsome world of enticement
many things stay tediously the same unalterable,
but the colors of the lips is an option of change,
they all strive to try in various charming hues.

Realizing it’s a large fashion market worldwide,
I set up a modest factory rolling out array of lipsticks,
not competing with the products of L’Oreal or the like,
my business started booming, soaring to new heights.

But then comes the virulent corona virus from the blue,
making lipsticks for the masked lips rather redundant. 
No takers, I have to close down my factory where now
I am making mask to survive in these difficult times.

Goodbye Cruel World

Being the worlds chief of police
Is so overrated
With all that we do
And they all still hate us

We're only here 
To keep up the peace
Spread our name brand 
Of Democracy

If you don't love us
Then kindly leave us
If you don't trust us
Won't hurt our feelings believe us

We'll bring it to order
One way or another
Kick out the leaches
Close down the borders

Once that is done
And they're out on their bums
We'll build us a wall
From the North to South run

The only thing Canadian
That we will let in
Is Celine Dion
And their cheap medicine

And that little Chihuahua 
From down below
Cause we love Taco Bell's 
Mex food to go

As far as the Middle east
They can do as they please
We won't be around 
To kick sand in our face

We'll pull out of there
Our American troops
Not just a few of the lucky
But one hundred proof

They can fight it all out
Amongst themselves
If they stick with the program
There'll be nobody left

We'll turn in our nukes
We won't need them no more
As we won't be playing
In their silly wars

We will be by ourselves
Closed off from it all
Unplug the phone 
If they try to call

Live in our bubble
Stay out of trouble
No longer hang out
With that bunch of numskulls

So lock up the door
Turn out the light
Toss out the key
As we say goodbye..
