Stockpile toilet paper if you dare
All kinds of tariff talk is in the air
World Health Organization is in the dust
Praying for the USA is now a must
Cookies, snacks, Chips...
drinks induce cancer...
Polluted air causes disease,
live causes old age,
dying saves us...
How could we live !
J-eopardy of dreaded droplet
O-nerously attacks the mouth;
S-trike is felt all over the world,
E-ndangering the East, West, North, and South.
P-andemic plague in dreaded droplet
H-orribly hurts nose by surprise;
I-nvisible infection from Wuhan
N-astily assaults everyone's
E-yes.
B-arbaric brutality of dreaded droplet
U-ses the fearsome fever;
E-erie epidemic of sickness
N-otoriously lets lungs suffer.
A-trocious ailment in dreaded droplet
V-iciously threatens the throat;
E-xcruciating thing in silence
N-efariously brings risk to the boat.
T-he World Health Organization
U-pends the global fret;
R-estrictions and lockdowns
A-bate the dreaded droplet.
Topic: Birthday of Josephine M. Buenaventura (May 29)
Testing times for the masses
Testing surprises? wrong passes
Friends on paper turned foes
WHO was there and knows
Sellouts in for the kill
Digital tracking at the till
Liberties lost, the new normal
Curfew and lockdown now formal
Covid-nineteen is no joke,
It is a global concern;
Causing servitude or yoke,
This virus we must discern.
The whole world is in panic,
Doing all to fight the threat;
Methods are systematic,
To be free from woes and fret.
World Health Organization
Is searching for a vaccine;
To combat the infection,
A ship is in quarantine.
This problem is just serious,
We should all work hand in hand;
We will emerge victorious,
Obeying the right command.
Proper hygiene is vital,
So is the immune system;
This disease is so fatal,
We should defeat this mayhem.
There must be no time to waste,
The enemy multiplies;
Everything must be in place,
So that no more patient dies.

I think we should consider this!
We all get berserk over a mass
shooting in the USA, yes?
However, where are your tears for
125, 000 unborn children who will
die tomorrow and everyday this
year?
Where is our sorrow?
Where are our thoughts and
prayers?
For those 125,000 snuffed out
unborns each day.
An unborn is neither a cyst nor a
pimple.
A human being will be killed and open
awake in God's tender arms and see his
loving, gentle dimple.
We weep and still moan the Holocaust?
While, nations avoid and end lives with no
conscious at all, daily....en masse?
* World Health Organization figures were
used in this poem.*
With the death of my parents something changed inside,
Its a secret very deep that I’ve tried so hard to hide,
I keep busy working but admit I often have denied,
There’s not a day go by that I don’t think of suicide.
Then I look at my children and become filled with pride,
To see my son graduate, my daughter become a bride,
Would be part of life so important, it could not be denied.
And spending these milestones without me to preside,
Would make my family feel like a big part of them died.
So I keep the sleeping pills hidden and the act untried,
Averting the sad thoughts, putting a smile on the outside.
Breathe easy, this secret is not a true story, that’s the upside.
