I\'m blaming the promiscuous lot. Had they just went to church like normal people, the pandemic would never have happened. Okay, off to church tonight, maybe a few churches.

Plenty of them around.
Some eventually snap and leave a corpse, some become the corpse.

Acid Rain
Paul Bell said:

It\'s nice to know the world is killing us slowly. At some point in time, the animals will laugh at our demise.

What Is Terror?
verona said:

very evocative imagery.

I particularly liked the last couplet. \"Sullied and bloodied are the lives of the innocent,

And justice is murdered with the knife of the ignorant\"

The Journey of Life
Charles Edward York said:


From the perspective of a 12-year-old comes a very enlightening and profound sense of perspective and prose. It goes without saying that your piece of poetry is highly commendable and you should be encouraged by this to write more.

A wonderful poem! Hard to believe you were 12 when you wrote it. Agreeing with Mek on this one, you can grasp freedom before our final demise. Great job!

Rocky Lagou said:

Wow this began as elegiac and slightly downcast, but the last line was such a message. Brilliantly done!

I thought i was going to be critical of this piece, it\'s title from a 12 year old being somewhat precocious. However I was wrong. THis is very good and at my age 70 very relateable.

Speaks of a great furure in perceptive writing.

Dictators always tell the people what\'s good for them. I think the Russian people might just know now, and action will be taken.

Rocky Lagou said:

Wow what an impactful poem. You truly conveyed this message sincerely. It\'s a rough time we\'re going through but I hope to see better days. An amazing piece of persona poetry right here. Well done and the imagery was very apt for your message.

Beauty\'s Grave
spilleronsheet said:

Are we reckless
Are we ignorant
We don’t love the hands that nurtures and take it for granted
And when she is angry, we blame her
Not realising how much did we hurt
Very insightful and necessary lines
Thanks a lot dear poet for shedding light

Indeed mother nature has truely suffered at the hands of man, we are only care takers so maybe it is time we all showed the world some care. Lovely poem.

When you have a family to feed you take every opportunity to provide what they need...... just ask those who are self employed, the risk takers.

You\'ve got it in one. The rest of Europe works the hours that suit them. The British worker just works, and even in retirement, he\'ll still be working.
