Different
lines on the thermometer,
when it happens,
it moves all by itself.

Deliberately
random restless waters,
terrestrials standing on their banks,
recidivists having deposits
and withdrawals
at an inflated rate.

Dungeoneering
--the amplified gesture
means a convenience charge,
elevate me later.

Defibrillation,
I'm on the existential end
of viral paradise,
"the files you have on me"
are a trail of stolen pebbles,
sure to inoculate my final
walk into the sea.

So What Really Is WISE...
In These CRAZY Times... ?!?
  
Because It...
DOESN’T Seem Wise...
To Now Speak Your Mind...
If You’re The Type...
Who Thinks Outside...
of The Mainstream Box...
  
And Dares To Speak of Blood Clots... !!!
  
Or of... ADVERSE Affects... !!!
Because It Seems Most Heads...
Will Now Get... UPSET... !!!
  
If What You Stress...
Is To... Take A Sec..........
  
BEFORE You Accept...
A Jab To Protect...
Yourself From What’s Said...
To Be Causing Deaths...
By World Governments...
Who Now Seem HELL BENT...
  
On FORCING Vaccines...
On... EVERYBODY... !!!
  
Because of This Disease...
That’s Now Causing Distress...
... Across CONTINENTS... !!!
  
But I Digress...
  
Is It Really Wise...
To Believe Headlines...
That Seem To Define...
That We’ll All Be Fine...
  
If We... VACCINATE... !!!
And Choose To Replace...
Freedom of Choice...
With Losing Our Voice...
  
To Disagree...  
With The Use of Vaccines...
  
Is It Wise To Pick Fights...
With Those Now Inclined...
To Toe The Line...
of... New Guidelines... ?!?
  
That Keep Getting Changed...
Pretty Much EVERY DAY... !?!
  
One Day They Say...
You Should Walk This Way...
But Then Tell You To WAIT...
The Very NEXT Day... ?!?
  
Because of Viral Strains...
RISING Once Again... !!!
  
Doesn’t That Seem STRANGE... ?!?
  
Is It Wise To Believe...
What The Media Feeds...
About World Problems...
And What Really Goes On...
In Times Like These...
Where Controls Now Seem...
To Be Being INCREASED... !?!
  
Is It Wise To Speak...
If You DON'T Agree...
With The People Who Lead...
... Our Societies...
  
Because Unless Your One...
of The Millionaires Club...
  
It Now Doesn’t Seem Like...
Your Opinions Will Fly...
And You May Well Find...
Yourself... Ostracised...
  
If You Don’t Comply...
With What Your Told...
By Those Who Control... !!!
  
Is It Wise To Think...
That You KNOW EVERYTHING... ?!?
  
Well Clearly... NOT... !!!
  
When You’re NOT A Part...
of Government Plots...
That Are Those That Chart...
A Whole NEW PATH...
  
Where We’re Now Bound...
By Infection Sounds...
  
Cos’ They’re On The Rise... !!!
Yes They’re ON THE RISE... !!!
  
" So Get IMMUNISED !  
And You’ll Be Fine ! "
  
Is The Line On REWIND...
On Mainstream Headlines... !!!
  
But That’s NOT Quite Right...
When These Pharma Guys...
Can’t Seem To Decide...
If What They Inject...
Will FULLY PROTECT...
  
And Stop You From Getting...
Infected... AGAIN... ?!?
  
So Does It Really Make Sense...
Or... Is It Wise... ?!?
  
To Stand In Line...
And Then Take A Shot...
If You Feel Fine...
And Have NOT Got...
Any Health Issues... ?!?
  
And What of Our YOUTH...
Is It Wise To ASSUME...
That They Need Shots TOO...
If They’ve Got... NO FLU... ?!?
  
I Don’t Have A Clue... ???
But When You Think It Through...
  
Do All These Moves...
Seem WISE To You... ?!?
  
It’s A Time To Be WISE...
I Think You’ll Find...
  
But If You Think...
It’s Wise To Submit...
To Media Scripts...
Then Do Your Thing...
And Get Injected... !!!
  
But Recognise...
That It Could Be Your Life...
That You’re Putting On The Line... ?!?
  
So I’ll Ask This Question...
Just... One More Time... !!!
  
When It Comes To Our Lives...
And Controls Now Imposed...
By Government Tribes...
Who Are Known To Contrive...
And Then Hide Behind...
A WHOLE WORLD of LiES... !!!
  
When It Comes To The Things...
That They CLAIM To Be RIGHT...
  
When You Take Time To THINK...
About Doing What It Is...
  
That They Are DEMANDING... !!!
  
My Question Is THIS....
  
“ Do You Think It’s Wise ?!? “...
A fair and reasonable question for these days and times....
Big Virge Sep 2021
I'm Saying Why Oh WHY...
In This Day And Age...
Does It Need A MANDATE... ?!?

To Make People Say...
Hey... I Should Vaccinate...... ?!?

Because of Claims...
That Corona Is A THREAT...
To The Human Race...
And Is Causing Deaths...
At ALARMING Rates... !!!

According To Our Leaders...
And Our Heads of State...
And Those Whose Job...
Is To... MEDICATE...
So That People Are SAVED... !!!

But Is It Not A Bit STRONG...
To Basically... DICTATE...

What People Should Do...
To Protect From This FLU...

That’s Right... A FLU... !!!

Shouldn’t People Choose...
Once They’ve Thought It Through...
And Got Substantial Proof...
That Vaccines Are Cool...
To Inject Into...

Their Bodies And Veins...
If They HAVEN’T Been Proved...
To Be... TOTALLY SAFE... !!!

Is Choice Now ERASED...
From The Human Race... ?!?

UNLESS You Want To Change...
Your... Gender And Name... ?!?

Doesn’t It Seem Strange...
That It’s NOT Okay...
For People To Say...

"That They’d Rather WAIT......."

Than To Be FAST TRACKED...
Into... Taking A Jab... !?!

I Really Get That Most Now Feel...
That It’s... NOT A BIG DEAL... !!!

And That Those Who Refuse...
Are Just Being OBTUSE... !!!

Or Just Being SELFISH... !!!

But Maybe It’s THIS... ?!?

They Just Prefer To THINK...
And NOT Be So QUICK...
To Accept Something...
That May Not Be Fit...
To Be... INJECTING...

Is It REALLY WISE...
To Take Something Advised...
To Be Protecting Lives...
When It’s NOT Been Trialled...
Over A LONG TIME... !?!

Like Say A Good TEN Years... ?!?
To Allay The Fears...
of Shedding Tears...
Over Losing Someone...
Very Close And Dear... !!!

Or Is FEAR What’s Behind...
Peoples Wish To Vaccinate...

FEAR of LOSING PAY...
And The Place That They Stay...
And The Freedom To Play...
... Outside All Day... !!!

And Of Course The FEAR...
of … NO MORE HOLIDAYS... !!!

Because of Claims...
From Government Names...

Who Have Been Found Out...
To Be Driving Around...
In Their OWN Lockdowns... !?!

NO Mandates Were Made...
For THEIR Wayward Ways... !?!

And ABUSE of Rules...
Initially Approved...
By Their Political Crews... !!!

So I’m A Bit Confused... ?!?

And What About These...
... Blood Clot Issues... ?!?

That... WEREN’T An Issue...
Before These Vaccines... ?!?

And... How Do You Know...
What’s Been Given To You... ?!?

Because It Has Been Known...
For Big Pharma To Use...
Products That Were...

... Actually BAD... !!!

Because Lawsuits Prove...
That This Is... FACT... !!!

They’ve Made Some Moves...
Just To Make Themselves Cash...
INSTEAD of... HELP Humans... !!!

So Folks Should Be Shrewd...
And Really THINK About That... !!!

And If They’re All Good...
Why Can’t They Be Sued...
And Face … Lawsuits... !?!

What Are They Scared of...
Something Going Wrong... !?!

If They Are So STRONG...
What’s The Big Problem... ?!?

With Accepting Liability...
For The Improbability...

of Something That Can Lead...
To... OPEN Testing...
As Well As INSPECTION...
of ALL These Vaccines... !!!

That They Have Quickly Deemed...
To Be What Humans Need... ?!?

But REMEMBER These Vaccines...
Are Because of... EMERGENCY.......

... Authorities Permitted...
While Mandates Aren’t Restricted... !?!

I Think That Something's Missing...
That Has NOT Been Submitted...

That Should NOT Be Omitted... !!!

The Fact That What We’ve Witnessed...
Is Vaccines Pushed With Quickness...
As If It’s Good For Business...
And BIG Pharma Making BILLIONS... !!!

I Get That There’ve Been Deaths...
That Have Made People SCARED... !!!

But.....

People Should BEWARE...
And NOT Be So Prepared...
To Run And Just Inject...

Vaccines Into Systems...
That Keep Us All IMMUNE...
From Things Just Like This Corona Flu... !!!

And Our Ability To Choose...
Should NOT Now Face Abuse...
Or EVER Be... Refused... !!!

Because of Fear...
Or A Wish To Adhere...
To Government Rules...
That THEY Don’t Stick To... ?!?

Does That Seem Shrewd...
Or Wise To Do...
For People Who...
Tell LIES To You... ?!?

But Hey...
That’s Just MY VIEW... !!!

WHY Fear Your End...
Because You CAN'T DEFEAT DEATH...
And EVERY LAST Human...
Has To Take Their Last Breath... !!!

At The End of The Day...
It Just Seems A Little STRANGE... ?!?

This SUDDEN Wish To DICTATE... !?!

Peoples’ Need To Take...
What They CLAIM To Be SAFE... !!!
  
If It’s REALLY OKAY...
For The Human Race...
To Now... Vaccinate... !!!

Because of What...
Their Scientists Say... !!!

Won’t People Just Take It Anyway ?

So Why EXACTLY... ?!?

“ Does It Need A Mandate “
Another interesting question for these days and times .......
Big Virge Sep 2021
So Now It Seems...
To... Currently Be...

A...... HOT Topic...... !!!
That MANY In The World...
Are Now Wrestling With...

When It Comes To Work...
Protecting Children...
And Again... Travelling... !!!

Is It Wise To Submit...
To What These Vaccines Give... ?!?

Freedom To Live...
And Not Face Limits...
On Basic Things...
Like Having A Drink...
And... Partying... !?!

It’s A TOUCHY Subject...
For A LOT of Heads...

When Discussions Arise...
About What’s WISE...

Do You... VACCINATE...
Or... Choose To ABSTAIN... ?!?
And Face Losing Your Wage...
Due To Vaccine Mandates... ?!?

Are You HURTING Lives...
If You DON’T Comply...
Or Yes Choose To SUBMIT...
To Be One Who Takes It... ?!?

That’s Right This New JAB...
That Many Have Now Had... !!!

Because It AVAILS...
FREEDOM To Set Sail...
And NOT Wear A Mask...
Just To Do Daily Tasks... !!!

Like Going To Work...
To Once Again Serve...
The … Good Old Purpose...

of That’s Right Slaving For...
The... Political Herds...

Who’ve Made **** Sure...
That Peoples Nerves...
Have Been DISTURBED...
By... New Death Curves...
That Have Now Been Observed...

Since Corona’s Worked...
A Viral Curse...
That Has … Perturbed... !!!
And Caused Much Hurt... !!!

But What About Things...
Like The Nuremberg Code... ???

If... EXPERIMENTING...
Is Something UNKNOWN... ?!?
To People Now Taking...
An Injected Dose...

of A Vaccine That’s Given...
WITHOUT Their Permission... ?!?

Unwilling Submission...
Is NOT A Position...
That Should Be Permitted... !!!

When It Comes To Physicians...
And What They Are Giving...
To People Submitting...
Themselves To Conditions...
That Could Be Inflicting...
ILLNESS To Their Systems... !?!

The Nuremberg Code...
Says Such Things Are FORBIDDEN... !!!

“But Of Course,
No-One’s Forced !”

Is The Mainstreams Retort...
In What Newsrooms Report...

But Is Their Talk PURE... ?!?
Or Contorting The Law...
To Make People Unsure...

of What Was Profiled...
In The Nuremberg Trials...

A Form of Restriction...
of... **** Type Visions...
Creating Dominions...
And New World Prescriptions...

To RESTRICT OPPOSITION...
To POISONOUS Serums... !!!

Or VACCINES You See... !!!

Submitting May Be...
What You THINK Sets You Free...

But It Could Also Be...
A Thing That Impedes...
Any Chance To Advance...
A Question That Asks...

If These Vaccinations...
Create SUBJUGATION...
To World *******...
Or... DEPOPULATION...
To Keep People Stationed...
Or That’s Right CONTROLLED...

Could This Be Their Goal... ???

Now I Really DON’T KNOW... ?!?
But Historical Notes...
Are Those That Have Shown...

That Experimentation...
Has Caused VIOLATIONS...
Of... MASS Populations... !!!

From The Radium Girls...
To This … Corona World...

… BIG Corporations...
Have Made Some BIG Payments … !!!

To Keep People QUIET...
Who’ve Wanted To RIOT...
And Act Like Street Tyrants... !!!

When They Found That LIARS...
Chose To Be Compliant...
For Corporate Giants... !!!

So Could It Be Science...
Behind Which They’re Hiding... ???

Is This All A TRICK...
To Get Folks INJECTED...
With Something That STINKS...
That Has Made People SICK... ?!?

All I’m Saying Is... THIS...
You Should Take Time To THINK...

Before Being TOO QUICK...
To GIVE IN... And...

......... “ Submit “........
It's a matter of choice, however, blind submittal to anything and everything, is probably not the wisest thing to embrace ....

And the anti-vaxxers;
Between the dearly educated,
And the poorly educated;
The lines are blurred,

A summer house-boat party - Matey - toss those cares overboard. The scout boat found a deserted cove so the party can be privately fierce.

The lake's broken reflections of moonlight look like jewels on black satin.

There are all kinds of drinks - ALL kinds - and herbal refreshments flare like lightning bugs. It isn’t long before perfumed bodies are flexing to music in the hot, moist, summer air.

Dance, swim and repeat as needed - cool water evaporates off bathing suits immediately - replaced by prickled sweat. It’s too hot - I’m staying in the water. There’s a group of us in tubes tied, spider-web like, around the boat.

There’s a guy who’s been watching us (Bili, my BFF, is my tube-mate). He’s extremely fair, and he’s gotten a bit too much sun giving him a feverish appearance.

At one point, I meet his gaze - to see what he’d do. His irises are a light blue that, in the lights, reflect like little blue flames - unwavering and alien.

I don’t mind a bit of attention - I think that’s how the system works - attraction, pursuit, investigation, and eventually seduction. But usually from someone we know. A stranger's attention can make one feel as if they're in enemy territory.

He gave me a nod and a smile that seemed like a proposition. I whisper about this “encounter” to Bili who takes command and just rows us over to him.

He’s older than I first thought - 22 - with cream-colored hair - thick, like horse mane and eyelashes and brows so pale they’re almost invisible. His name is “Noud” and he’s from Holland - at Georgia Tech studying atmospheric something or other - and girl watching.

“What are you doing at some random Georgia lake party?”, I ask.
“Soaking up the local atmosphere, of course.” He says. Which makes sense, I suppose, because that IS his chosen field.

I do an Arnold Schwarzenegger impression, arbitrarily, which I think is pretty good (you can’t beat the classics) - Noud, does an even better one.
His, “I’m going to take [pause] you OUT” got a laugh.
His later, “You need to take [pause] that OFF” earned a “nuh-uh” finger wag.

Thanks to vaccinations, the atmosphere around here is a lot more fun.
Wow, what a difference vaccinations make.

I've grown rusty and unused to summoning words from a blank page - but FINALLY - there's something new to describe. School (11th grade) is over - at last - and... more.

There's a party tonight - a REAL, honest-to-God, in person, PARTY - for about 30 of us. Yes, vaccinations are documented. Life seems to be beginning again.

I'm eager, like a boxer before the bell or a racehorse at the starting gate. I'm an animal, long constrained, who knows it's about to be set free.

I'm as disorientated as an awakened dreamer and I find myself laughing, drunk with possibilities as I try on clothes for preliminary impressions.

It's hard to quash tremors of impatience.

I'm sick of helpless, indifferent, pandemic necessity.

I'm SO tired of boredom, circling me like a vulture, in my panopticon palace - that I opted for a respite of pure terror - I'm SO clever.

I'm skipping my senior year of high school and heading off to university. I'd rather die than risk spending another year in my room(s) - I almost went crazy.

There's a paper on my desk, white as a bride. It says "ACCEPTED for fall term 2021."

I’m trying not to let on that I’m afraid. Is desire always a tangle of impossible, contradictory impulses?

I've decided that my life is my only real possession - my own, small, life-or-death riddle to solve.

I want to live with intent, like I'm aimed at something and I'm going to chase happiness like it could be caught.

My luggage is open - like alligator jaws. I stare into those tan, Ghurka depths - rigid with anxiety.

My sister (home on vacation from her surgical residency) sees me eyeing the empty bags.
"Are you worried?” She says, “You look worried."

I normally find the sister-teacher-coach vibe irritating, but now, somehow, it seems reassuring.

"No," I lie - then - "A bit," I admit, close-lipped.

But that's a later worry =]
There are some changes in my world - at last
Carlo C Gomez Feb 2020
Raised on vaccine
Children of the thorny hedgerows
Lines blur
Minds stir
But lungs breathe in the bloom

Raised on old wives tales
Children of the wide open sea
Sights clear
Horizon blue
But brain dead in the surf

There's strength in numbers
Once immunity is lost
So is hope

To vaccinate or not?
What about diseases we forgot?
Like Polio, T.B. or Smallpox?
Kids can't take peanuts to school, or not,
Bu they can bring Measles and Whooping Cough.
What other diseases have we forgot?
To vaccinate or not?
A topical theme. Feedback welcome.
