#strongertogether
Rooted deep in love’s embrace
Each connection leaves a trace
Loyal hearts that intertwine
Affection shared through space and time
Trust the bridge that holds us near
In every hug, the world feels clear
Open arms and listening ears
Nurture bonds that calm our fears
Sacred ties that never fade
Hope and joy together made
Infinite strength in unity
Promises kept in harmony
Souls aligned in empathy

It seems like I’ve forgotten about trees and branches.
My mind is a mess like a clutter of feelings.
For I have not been taking care of them leaves.
Those who left, I’ve let them leave.
For I don’t have time for fairies in the sand.
Their wings break and want me to pick them up,
while my wings been broken since the war.
Who were there for me? Who reached their hand to me?
No one.
No one.
No one.
I may have forgotten about the trees and their branches.
But with a messy mind, you gotta sort and sort out that clutter.
I have no one to be by my side, like the tree and their branches.
Who has the time for being a hero?
Not me?
Not you?
We may feel hopeless.
We may feel lonely..
But through the night we hear the silent sound of voices.
From all the sides of the forest.
Every soul on their bare knees, they are shouting their mightiest roar.
But all we can hear is a silent whisper.
But her brothers and sisters are also on their knees, and shouts with her.
Together they form a flowing wave of sound to the sky.
Together we can be heroes.
Let's save each other from this darkness that takes us from within.
Let's save our brother, sisters and friends.
When it feels like
all you can do is fall on your knees,
Try to remember the trees and their branches.
For without either they are not whole.
For together they stay mighty against the wind
Together we can.
For together we can be strong.
Let’s, be a tree or a branch for each other.

He called her
Starflower
And her heart melted
Like iron in a forge
His to be melded
And held
Close to his person
His secret weapon
Forever

In the North we had the cold war. Sirens screamed; we crouched under desks, thin arms covering thinner heads. We were post Pompeii petrifies waiting for a future dig. We never left an atomic shadow.
This sums up all life-threatening fears of the Boomers, the Echoes, the A's through Z's. Of course, Boomers then were too young to worry.
We've never had planes or bombs fall from our skies (there was the Arrow disaster).
We've never had a crop blight, famine or drought.
Food has never been rationed.
Hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons or tornados don't happen here;
We get snowfalls we plow through till they melt.
We're non-tsunami. Flooding is seasonal, geographically isolated, and dealt with.
We've had no great fires or earthquakes like San Fran or London.
We've never been drafted, and only go to wars of our own choosing.
We have not been invaded or occupied;
P.E.I. has no extermination crematoriums.
We avoided Inquisitions, Salem witch hunts and Small Pox blankets.
We've had no Race Riots, but a few barricades have gone up and down.
Death comes to us as to all. Car accidents, ******* accidents, and even ****** Though never expected, always anticipated. We grieve, some longer than others. It's not easy, but we manage the shock.
When the glaciers glide past the coast of Nova Scotia, on the way to New York, my generation (and probably yours) will have been replaced.
But now! We're asked to Social Distance and wash with soap and water. In Canada we have plenty of both. I'll occupy my three square feet of space for several weeks (knowing there are only 52 in a year). No complaints. No asinine TP runs. Just behaving myself, HUMANELY.

I look out and wonder,
Where is It?
Am I in the crosshairs.
(Breathe)
Where is my assassin?
Is it my beach dwelling, Corona guzzling, party-boy nephew,
Or,
A glad-handing, back-slapping, hissy-kissy friend,
To bring about the end.

Now we're in the bubble.

I sneezed into my elbow
At the grocery store;
All who were present turned,
Gasped and hit the floor,
As though I'd shot a gun.
I coughed in my elbow
While I was walking home;
The sidewalk cleared across the street,
As though I'd dropped a bomb.
While I was at my bank,
Four masked men pushed through the door.
No one notices anymore.

I've had a better life
Than a squirrel.
Ask anybody.
But looking out,
I'm envious of that
Mite invested, bushy-tailed one,
Fleeing up my tree.

The White House is an inverse reflection
Of the matter/anti-matter chamber:
It's Not, The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
No. It's, The needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many.
What matters matters.

Refrain from purchasing
Racoon at your local
Wet market.
In your belly,
It can spelly,
Corona.

On my way
To the Lambton Health Unit,
I saw a child in a window,
Holding up a sign.
Be Positive, it sparkled.
Only if I'm negative, I mused.

As in all Partici-Poems,
You're invited to add your own.
Based on Fake News and False Hope,
There's nothing here to help you cope.
Covid-19 is China's Beta version.
The real pandemic is yet to come.
They now have a one year head start.
They've proved they can isolate and destroy
Without leaving their country.
The Sleeping Giant has opened its eyes.
It's the Real Rich people's way of getting Really Richer.
It's a deal maker.
You're Hired.
It's all about Government Opportunity.
Remember Get Smart and the CONTROL Organization
For whom he worked.
If the shoe fits, GPS someone.
If we send young healthy Jimmy (who tested positive)
In to see all the Grandmas and Grandpas,
Think of the resources we'll free up.
Manipulate the markets.
Tell people Russia and the Saudis are friends.
But tell your family first.
Hydroxychloroquine
Not only will it cure you, but it promotes
Natural skin color, whether black, white, brown or orange.
This is supported by the WH Medical Dream Team.
It's a miracle. Deus ex machina.
Will also give you blue eyes and blonde hair.
And please use a clean syringe when injecting disinfectant.
SIEG HEIL

While cruising Corona on the net,
I saw pangolins not eaten yet.
Many, you see, believe its scales,
Are cure-alls to cure whatever ails.
And its meat festoons the rich Asian table.
Who ate the pangolin from head to toe.
China lauds its laws to say they save
The endangered pangolins,
At home, in Asia;
Yet in Wuhan, locked live in cages,
In wet markets like our Dark Ages,
The scaly pangolin is sold.
But Revenge,
We know,
Is a dish best served cold.

Now three days old,

I know death.
Incensed with all of it.
The weighty strain of darkness,
Eyes closed, stopped ears, stuffed nose.
I was petrified while the world stumbled,
My wordless mouth gapes like a maw
Needing stitches.
I lounge in a toga,
Motionless as alabaster.
I was born to die,
But not like this.

They romp on hour glass beaches,
Tee-up North and down South;
Pack jock-straps in bleacher bags,
And gutters in ten pin alleys.
They're raging at the crosswalks,
Flail arms at intersections,
Like scarecrows on the Yellow Brick Road;
They foment insurrection.
The thick won't mitigate.
The thicker congregate.
The thickest dissipate.

Let me take you back
Over pot-holed tracks
To present day nostalgia;
When six feet away meant a grave,
And not a rule of order.
Let me take you back
Through ***** air,
When smog and soot were normal;
We didn't attend strange masquerades,
Breathing wasn't formal.
Let me take you back
Down the spiral stairs,
When holding rails
Was common.
Would you,
Go back,
To that Brave Old World,
Where we have the poor,
Wars are raging,
The environment's in peril,
With despots engaging.
Hoarders cheat,
Ice-caps retreat,
Animals compete
With billions at the table.
Oceans over-heating,
Egos are defeating
The food chains of our world.
Forests burn bright,
Crops rot from blight,
None treat us right.
And a hundred thousand unsolved queries,
Compounded by some glorious leader.
Let's not go back,
Take small steps onward
Into our Brave Newer World,
That compels us forward.

We try to fight
We found a new way to see the light
Here we are now at the end
Warriors United
One at a time we win the battles
Show we are not alone in the war
United we are
United we stay
I am the one who fights for the scared
I am the one who fights for the depressed
I am the one who stands for what's right
I am the one who speaks for the dead
We are the warriors who will show you what's right
United we are
United we stand
One by one
We will win this war
