The good, the bad and the ugly.

The good, the bad and the ugly

is starting to shine through

with this Corona Virus

that is affecting my Country.

On Facebook and on local area

online sites people

are signing up to help the elderly, vulnerable

and folk in their areas who are less fortunate and in need

of support friendship and proper aid.

And on the other side

selfish people are going crazy in the major

superstores stocking up on Toilet Paper, Milk, Meat and tinned

goods and alcohol. And stripping the stores bare.

We live in a society that still cares.

Even though the majority are still just out for themselves.

Don't lose hope or faith in humanity.

As not everyone is the same.

Their is still human beings who care for others.

As for the government looking out for you it's the local

caring ordinary person around you who cares

more and will stand up

for you long term.

Just like in the disaster movies.

The rich, big businesses and governments are just out for

themselves and their own families. At large.

Maybe cynical but true.

Not cynical, Dawn. This is true in the US, too. Such crises bring out predators, prey and thankfully the protectors. I must say I'm pleasantly surprised so many American businesses (like major league sports teams) have canceled games and seasons, even at risk of losing millions of dollars. Frankly, it's uncharacteristic for major American companies, and it's good to see the honor.

You present an honest depiction of this experience here and abroad. Thank goodness we have good neighbors, most everywhere we travel. Humanity is the last and best hope. Good write, Dawn.

Hi R.E. Ray, And thanks for your thoughts, its like watch a car accident taking place before your eyes. What is going on in my own country and around the world. Scary and unstoppable. I agree totally humanity is the only hope to save us all. Dawn.

Many many horrid inhumane mistakes were made during these last few years and I dare say the govt will repeat it all over again given half the chance they did not learn from their mistakes they do not care
Great write

'the good the bad and ugly'
Dawn,
Yea, I get it! So much became transparent during this time. How people chose to navigate this Covid period was pretty interesting. I don't know maybe transparent is not the right word. I think your right. Caring is what matters. finding ways to leave a gift of food at another's door, a phone call. A challenging time. This was a reminder of how things can change.Thank you for this good poem.

Dawn, thankfully there are still those that DO care for others, more than for themselves. Unfortunately, the media gives more attention to the trolls of society instead of the quiet angels giving their help where and when it's needed. Don't give up hope, see the good and try to ignore the worse that you see about.

Take care - Dave

You shouldn't talk about yourself like that, theirs worse trash floating out there then you

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, we can only count on each other during this crisis...government is feigning caring...but how much do they and how much is for political gain in the end.
There may be no one left to vote if we aren't vigilant.
strong write here.

Thanks Jacob, To be honest i think something else is going on underneath all this virus outbreak in the world. Like its away to cut down on the population at large and also make money long term.
