"Pandemic"

Feel it escalating?

Turbulent times,

pumping fear,

screaming war...

inside your mind.

Default default

bang bang

Everywhere you look,

insanitys,  chaos,

"terror-isms", lies

Shrinking fiat bills...

and wills.

Mockingbird mainstream mdia w****s!

W****s, selling handicaps to the consumer.

We buy it up. Paid for it...paying for it.

They're fraudulant cameras, looking,

glass pupils, capturing,

public-sizing,naked blood and gore.

And you SHOULD be afraid.

Be very afraid,

of the big bad YOU

that allows them to steal

your country

your money

your children

your freedom

your hopes

and dreams

your mind

your ability

your heart

your courage to fight for...

your future, your life!

Fear is a lie.

Love is the power.

So, yeah, close your eyes,

but, to look inside you, the cure to this pandemic!

Be the killer of your disease.

Still a work in progress...laughing, but seriously

Sadly, I believe that we are all responsible for our destruction. We allow media and mind to strip away what we know in our heart and soul. We have a calling...we are not doing our best....but love ...love is what reminds us to try. Ty for the memory!

Thank you, Queenie. I am holding on to that "always darkest before the dawn" thingy :)

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

Moon...thank you

[Ken Simm.]

When we see the anxiety ruling. Perhaps writing about it is cathartic. All I do know is that I am impressed and empathise when somehow has the sheer courage as here. And when the sharing is so amazing.

[...]

You are too kind, Ken. Thank you

We are adrift like rudderless ships and will doubtless eventually dash ourselves on the rocks; sadly, this little blue dot will be all the better for it.

Thank you sir, for stopping by and sharing your thoughts

[mattavelli]

Hello, Lynn! :)
This is quite a train of thought. People in our country need to turn off their tvs and get to know themselves, maybe even love themselves; stop the idolizing. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.

Hello matlavelli :) It's been a while...good to see you, and thank you so much

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, the love if it is still inside is the only way to kill all the fear---and as your poem states...massive fear in the world today....even fear of the election and what will happen after...

no answers on the immediate horizon, but we must hold on to hope.

[...]

Good to see you by, Jacob. Thank you

[Ed Hart]

amen and hallelujah...prisons are what they are pretty much because of the prisoners...so goes the world...hi lynn...who'd of thought we'd reach the end times in these very times...look, who are those four horsemen riding

[...]

There needs to be an end to this "time" clock syndrome history repeating itself bs. Pattern recogniton... Empires fall when people wake up. Hi Ed :) You ever notice how you feel the sickest right before you throw up; how it's always darkest before the down? End times are timeless endings. We just so happen to be at the begining of one.

I felt and saw images of Uncle Sam pointing and waving his finger giving a lecture. Fantastic breakdown of today's society right down to the individual, YOU. Loved this lynn.

[...]

Thank you so much, Andrew (((you)))

[andrew mitchell]

[...]

[andrew mitchell]

i feel the gist of this one to the core ..wake up or far worse to come .. you really felt this and put it down fast ...as being wounded seriously, there is the bleeding ... forgive me to say ...a little edit here and there will polish things ;} L2 Turbulent times (not Tribulent) ... L9 ..insanity' (needs an s)....
if you read in a calmer state of mind ;) .. there are breaks you might use to the advantage of your poem .. i love this raw, honest outpouring ..i relate to it to the bone ...has a need to be expressed many times over in my opinion ..rant on my friend! I love it!
