Relax with a smile
still to know all the great while
learn to walk that extra mile
hearken onto a song

to help you get along
far from home
like a dog without it's bone
learning to take control

To pay for this death toll...

Dark times once, dark time twice,
And now for a third time,
Air full of planes,
Hearts full of grime,
Marching off to war,
Countries combine,
Countries fight,
No peace treaty to sign,
Death toll rises,
Bombs drop,
No way to escape,
Will it ever stop?...

“FOR whom the bell tolls…?
COVID death toll rises…
Bells can’t be unrung…

                   2.

Passover full moon…
CORONA VIRUS lurking…
Facemasks ape closed doors

                  3.

CORONAVIRUS…
Graphic death curve flattening;
Death toll still rises…...

When one thinks of the word "genocide," Adolf Hitler is who generally comes to one's mind,
and yet tobacco has left his total victim/death toll so very far behind.
Tobacco is the otherwise Hitler who succeeded in conquering worldwide.
Tobacco to me will always be a Self Indulged Genocide....

The White House has COVID-19
As face masks were never routine
Red hat or red tie
He'll laugh while you die
Our death toll is clearly obscene*

*Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, just 
celebrated 0 infections 0 deaths by 
following pandemic practices instead 
of Trump's Ouija Board predictions...

The virus is coming
The virus is here
The virus is now
It’s going to take the lives of many

The virus is powerful
The virus is a wow
The virus is corona
In every hundred, death toll is twenty

The virus is here
The virus is here
I am running the streets telling everyone.
Which is the worst thing I could do….....

Like death toll the ticking of the clock
Second-hand tocs
To the silence riffs
In a physicians examination room
The switching the wall calls down
Electric flow ticking away patients
Tic tic tic seconds waiting breathe
If one is afraid to wait until death

The President of America should be very concerned
about the dreadful death toll that is growing under his mismanagemment
of the Pandemic
If the deaths continue at the rate that they are going
doesn't he understand that he is ruining his chance of winning the coming
election in November because
THERE WILL NOT BE ANYONE LEFT TO VOTE...

Crickets joyful, joyfully sing
On a refreshing morn
Their harmony brings delight to
My ears, bless and adorn

Soon the cold will take its death toll
Many insects will die
How any survive some year's cold
I often wonder why

But if winter offers a few
Warm days, wasp will surely
Fly, always a surprise to see them
About_a remnant truely  ...

in the midst of four families
coming together
to end a crisis
it begins
paying the toll
for crossing over

1 of each coin
tossed into the streets
this will take everyone
pay the piper
to release
your creator so he can be reborn

whatever happened
to a death we could not afford
walking all over the dirty money
would any angel notice?...

Silently it creeps about without a doubt.
Sometimes it causes grief just like a thief.
Waiting to give you a fright
when it comes out at night.
If you take the time to pause
a lot of trouble it does cause.
Life or death is within its grip
while it continually drips.
It has lost many a soul in its death toll.
I stay out of the way when it stays....

a slow loris has a deadly trick
she takes her time, she’s sneaky and slick
venom is held in her elbow daily
Let’s pretend she is angry with my cousin Bailey.

The slow loris mixes venom with her saliva in the yard
then bites Bailey with her sharp teeth, good and hard
could he die? Oh, yes, that is the slow loris’ goal
She has already racked up a decent death toll....

"Predictions were for 2023 & 2024: "Again, heat exposure will hit many communities, death toll significant, take precautionary measures," ... by Poet 

Shift
Winter
into Spring
and the first day
will bring the Vernal
Equinox and Groundhog
Day pled an early Spring year
above norm temps in northern parts
late El Niño stretched warmth goes soaring
Twenty-Twenty-Four Warmth Openness Signs...

In the name of keeping peace
Russia raked up war at ease
Mounting conflicts and crises
Unleashing on Ukraine all vices...

When love and trust they needed
Bombs and shells strength wielded
Razing homes; raising death-toll
Morons made merry at Ukraine's fall...

Though broken into pieces
Ukraine's worth never ceases
It has held its head so high
Shaking citadels of pride to sigh...

When in that dark space of overwhelming sadness, deepest grief,
an anguished soul pleads for mercy, some relief..
The compassion from others is consoling but brief.
One must savor the sanctity that comes with sleep..
There the subconscious mind in it's dream state will find,
those lost, those loved.
It's a heavenly sign.
While our weary world weeps with a death toll so steep,
one can lift up death's veil and find solace in sleep....

Six decades after the slavers were gone
Came along the dragon
With fire to melt our mineral ore, trees to chop
And heat for a sweatshop
Politicians shake hands with eyes closed, as few hands get oiled
So they build the castles, as the majority poor toil
Nothing to show in the 21st century
A homeland is no longer a sanctuary
There is a death toll at shores of the Mediterranean sea
If we are not filling up forms for green visa lottery...

Fall snow fall,
Over the moaning Paris’ ground,
Let your descending snowflakes a 
Healing blanket for the city
To weave
And
Charlie’s slaughtered cartoonists 
To enshroud!

"Laughter the best medicine" it's said
A humorous poem was displayed

"Love is in the air" so 'tis said
A romantic poem captivated feelings

" Lies, lies, lies" is all that's said
The political poem expressed those wrongs

"The death toll reaches 5,000 in Nepal"
A poet views the scenes appalled

Laughter, romance, political unrest
News, views, stars, clearly expressed

A poet wears many hats
Ideas, ideals, keep flowing out

DAILy DEMAGING DAYS

Dying days dances dearly,
Destroying deleted determined details.
Distill distraction display devoid,
Defiant development drives devalue days.
Dial up diamond depressed diary.
Diabolical destroy dethroned desires.
Designed dependable desires dialogue
Demonstrate defined deliverance.
Draft daily demaging days,
Dare delect day dreaming data
Dazzling death-toll debtors deceives
Debatable decency decision declared
Dedicate depression delegated delightfully....
