I have been writing poetry, fiction and short stories for many years and have completed a book of poems. I also enjoy comedy writing.

Virus transfer

From him then to her

But nurses still twerk

As millions loose work

Computer geek turns health specialist

Vaccination tops his list

Run for cover, forget to pray

No hugs no kisses, stay six feet away.

Church cowers in fear

Miracle workers disappear

Cough and sneezing, the despised tasks

Quarantined and studied, muzzled in masks

Stimulation packages, world now of beggars

Elderly taken away, Corona in stretchers

Bleating sheep, wolf like shepherd

Population control, death gets clever

Locked up in homes

Goats, dogs and cattle roams

The trees still breathe

A life still has needs

But many live the lie, their world is a dream

And will never take the pill, to know what is fake and what is real

Sadly, my sister is testing dying elderly patients in nursing homes. If only it were made up.

Clive, who knows what kind of vaccine they will come up with, will it finish us off or will it cure? I wonder if China is heading the team?
