Now I’m NOT Being Funny...
Because THIS THING Is UGLY... !!!

... LOSS of LIFE... !!!
As Multitudes Die... !!!

But I’ve Got To Ask...
How Exactly Do They Know... ?

People Who’ve LOST...
A Relative... Because... ???

of THIS Corona Virus...
That’s Killing In SILENCE... !!?!!

WITHOUT CLEAR Signs... !!!
As To EXACTLY WHY...
Some Folks Have DIED... ?!?

OF COURSE I Do Get...
That Heads Are UPSET...

But There Is A PROBLEM... !!!

Were These People There...
When Death Was What Flared...
In... Hospital Beds... ?!?

EVEN If They WERE... ?!?

Are They Medical Minds...
Who Could CLEARLY Define...
The REASONS WHY...
Their Loved Ones Have Died... ?!?

I Guess That These Rhymes...
Will ANGER The Minds...
of People Now SADDENED...
Because of What’s Happened... !!!

But As I’ve Said Before...

Funerals Being... Held ONLINE... !?!
For Husbands Wives And EVEN YOUNG CHILD... ???

Does That Seem Right... ???

Limited Numbers...
For Deaths of Folks Mothers...
... Sisters And Brothers... !?!

When The Cause of These Deaths...
Has... NOT Been Uncovered... !?!?!

Because... Who’s Prognosis...
Has The RIGHT Diagnosis... ???

To FINALLY CLOSE THIS...
... Societal FOCUS...

On A Problem That’s Quoted...
As Being... SO POTENT...
That It’s CLOSING OCEANS... !!!

Okay There I’m JOKING... !!!
But... Just A Lil’ Bit... !!!

Because Some Ships...
Have Quarantined KIDS...
Because of All This... !?!

Now I’m FAR FROM...
... ALL KNOWING... !!!

But Folks Are Out Quoting...
Some... STUPID THINGS... !!!
About Things They DON’T KNOW... ?!?
Because They’ve Been... TOLD... !!!

of... Losses And Woes...
By... GOVERNMENT Folks... !?!

Who... DIDN’T Stay Home...
To Help The Virus Slow... !?!

Which Provides MORE PROOF...
That Has Me... CONFUSED... ???

If The Threat Is... As BIG...
As We’ve Been MADE TO THINK... ?!?

Why Haven’t These Heads …
Ended Up Being Left...
Being Stuck In Bed …
And... FACING DEATH... ?!?

Does That Seem Correct... ???
When Your Thoughts You COLLECT... ?!?

There Are LIES Being Told...
By... Various Folds...

Who Are CLAIMING To KNOW... !!!

The BEST Way To Go...
To Now SLOW The Roll...
of... Corona Death Tolls... !?!

But I’d Rather Hear Truth...
With... CONCRETE PROOF... !!!

Before I Believe...
What I HAVEN'T Seen...
With My VERY OWN EYES...

With KNOWLEDGE In Tow...
That Then Lets Me KNOW...

The REAL Reason Behind...
WHY So MANY Have DIED... ?!?

I Say... REST IN PEACE...
To Those Who’ve Deceased... !!!
And Send CONDOLENCES...
To Those Who Now Grieve... !!!

But ….
ALSO Now See That Certain MP’s...
And Leaders Have Been...
Spreading... FALLACIES... !!!

About THIS And THAT...
Within Their FAST Chat... !!!!

And Seem Happy To Breach...
... THEIR OWN POLICIES... !!!!

So YES Something Seems FOUL...
And Does Cast Some DOUBT...
To People Like … ME...

So I Make NO APOLOGY...
For This Piece of Poetry... !!!
About What We’ve Been Told...
About... Corona Death Tolls... !!!

So My Question For Folks...

RESPECTFULLY Is..... !!!

When It Comes To The Cause...
of Those Dying... ALONE... !!!!!!!!!!

In... Hospital Zones....
Apparently From This CORONA FOE... !!!

“How EXACTLY Do You Know ?”...
I'm sure this will cause a few heads to suggest that it's a cold hearted piece, when people are out there grieving, and fighting this disease, however, as the piece makes clear, I feel for anyone who has lost loved ones, as a result of this, but there are certain questions that need some clear and factual answers, and this one happened to run through mind today ......
