Who harmed 
Wuhan?

God?
To think

Satan?
For things!...

   Almost seven million deaths from COVID so far
   
      WHO took Wuhan off the world's radar...

the Wuhan bat
we've already seen quite enough of that
the Baseball bat, sadly sequestered,
closeted now, we cannot bear to look, it festered....

I woke
I worked
I loved
I lived

Behold a novel creature, asian-born

I woke under lockdown
I could not work
I could not see my love
I died...

China's Wuhan suffers first
Ordinary people re-establish community spirit
Vaccine is medical research excellence
Informing goes digital but excludes
Donald's selfish foolishness...

They told me there is no jackalope.
I said, "your head is like a cantalope!"
Ignorance and fear, better than a cold beer?
Stupidity, like the virus!
Wuhan ….leave it behind us!

Love is blind, but so is hate
    Blind hatred of Trump sealed our fate

  Stupid lockdowns, stupid school closures
    Stupid masks never prevented exposure

  Yet COVID 'couldn't possibly' have originated in Wuhan
    ~ 'Scientists' couldn't bear to be DJT fans...

After the riot-
with chairman Wuhan swirling around his head
president Trump, with bible in hand,
strolled from the embattled white house
toward a smoldering church
quoted some apocalyptic verse
then cussed out the press...
For the first time in seventeen years
the cicadas are snickering-...

Hunker down people-nothing lasts forever.
stay at home until this Wuhan devil blows over.
it's not so bad... being home
You know the place you dreamed about
finally purchased with blood and calluses.

So man up-hunker down
there are airborne asps flitting about
man up-hunker down.
until this Wuhan devil blows over....

Cyrus the virus is now among us
Known as Corona, causing a big fuss
Hailing from Wuhan city
Infecting without pity
New yellow peril for us to discuss

Over reaction quickly takes traction
Toilet paper now missing in action
Everyone should stay in bed
Then Cyrus will end up dead
But just how long our sleeping protraction...

The dragon dance of death,
Born in silent Wuhan
Round and round far it goes,
Filling ballrooms of Rome
Hip Hop, Tap, Rock and Roll
Taking breaths of poor souls
Healthy youth fit to dance,
Saving our elder lives.

Coronavirus strikes the earth
Headstones rise in Satan's curse
Invading life with every breath
Nomadic in its deadly quest
America its target goal
Silently to take control

Pray for all who breathe the air
Lives are lost in solitaire
Apprehension rules the land
Grieving souls can't understand
Unrestrained there is no cure
Earth may loose this viral war...

It's a blessing that we're all wearing masks
because in all honesty, there wasn't many smiles going around
in the first place.
at least with a mask, we can imagine a hidden smile.

I've never seen so many people so tangled up in themselves.

Until we can learn to untangle ourselves from ourselves
I think we should continue wearing masks
long after the Wuhan flu devils have fled....

Queen Bee

Buzz, buzz, buzz... 
Great Queen, I hear your song. 
Making honey with your workers... all night long. 
Sweet nectar of the forest, sweet liquid sugar of life, 
teased away from the flowers, one soft petal at a time. 

Ever their grip tight, upon the gift of the maker, 
the honey, the golden reward, of a life well planned, 
and shared... among friends, 
that dare to harvest it....

J-ust endure the assault
O-f the brutal bacteria; 
S-top the threat of epidemic
E-eriness from Wuhan, China.
P-eople endure the assault, 
H-umans beat the viral trends; 
I-nvisible infection evaporates, 
N-otorious nastiness
E-nds.

L-ethal link in pandemic
I-s having the danger to halt; 
S-tay strong and be healthy
T-o endure the
A-ssault.

A Guest

Little tiny mouse, 
why are you in my house? 
Out the back door, 
there are fields aplenty. 
Down by the creek,
there is water, afresh. 
In the corn crib, 
there is more to eat. 
In the barn,
there is more to do. 
Adventures abound... 

Here there is only our home. 
We must protect it from you. 
Small mouse, get out... 
of my house. 
I did not invite you in, 
and you are not allowed to stay. 
No way!...

You're Pandemic, You're Pandemic.
Your Infection grows an expiration.
You have come from Wuhan.
And have destroyed All Jahan.
O Man! Your seven deadly Sins.
Ah! Allah has given you a comeuppance.
Because of your Avarice.
You became a bad choice.
Oh man! your lust
Giving you a dust!
O Man! You showed your ignorance.
And Almighty Allah showed His violence!
This Corona has only one solution.
That's do pray with a passion....

I see no evil in the
 Mortise and tenon and in the thin 
Red line Mao traced in a
 Thousand or more 
Platitudes still
Posing deftly in old 
Wuhan. 

 Just a while ago I did glimpse a 
Twinkle in the
 Delicate curl of a child’s 
Lip and in the
Tender.

 Millions of centimeters away the French, in 
Perfect nonchalance, 
Pause, as stock markets
 Nip and tuck to 
Languid sips of cool cool 
Wine.

She stood silently outside a Home Depot store.
In an endless serpentine Wuhan flu line.
Like everyone else, most of her face was masked.
Except her forehead and around her eyes.
Which were covered in clusters of skin tags.
   Magically, beauty and the color of our skin didn't matter. 
Sliced from the social equation by a globe trekker devil. 
On the outside we all became equal and beautiful.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end....

It all began in a laboratory in Wuhan;
Shan Chi sneezed next to Li Huan,
And they both gave it to Sue Han,
Who spread it all over Fenghuang.

Shie Ming went to Taiwan,
And she wasn't the only one,
Who talked to Sue Han
Who got it from a cousin from Wuhan.

And now Lien Mien Yong
Also went to Hong Kong,
It spread all along,
And it found Zhou Xong

He gave it to Kay Lee
Who stood next to me
In the mall in Juechii
Where I was eating Sushi....
