Thanks to Covid

Thanks to Covid

 

Now, thanks to Covid,

even before Eden, the origins of corruption

can be tracked, traced and found …

    Just a teeny bit enigmatic, Nev.

    ‘Like to elucidate?

    ‘t’s not as if I don’t like poetry where more is left unsaid than said, but mystery and inexplicability bring on a certain nervous condition (the details of which I will not disclose here)….

    No? You are going to hold your fire until other poets have..... ain't you?

    • Neville



      bang on mate .. but it does have summat to do with DNA maybe ..................... and I don't mean do not ask 🙂

    • orchidee

      A thoughtful write N.

      • Neville



        I'm so glad you think that Mr. O .. I would have hung up my pen n notebook had you got it straight away ... and no you can not swoon just because the word corruption was used 🙂

      • Fay Slimm.

        Smiling real big at this bit of tongue-in-cheek Covid exposure - your wit mon ami is easily tracked, traced and found by the likes of me.

        • Neville



          Covid or not he's comin to get ya ...................................................................................... 🙂 x

        • Lorna

          I'm dense and I'm with Doggerel Dave Neville......... please let us know what you mean. Unless it's that Covid has exposed every single rotten politician that exists at the moment??

          • Doggerel Dave

            Lorna: much as I appreciate your mention, for your own good, don't side with me - it will stain your reputation at MPS, sometime or other....thanks anyway....

            • Lorna

              Well I hope Neville knows I meant nothing bad in my comment - have I dropped into the forces of darkness here?

              • Doggerel Dave

                Could've - there would be some who would say you had.... but no more, let's just sink into obscurity....

                • Neville



                  think original sin, DNA testing and some of the many advances that have been made in a hurry directly due to Covid .. think apps, think ancestry .. think laterally and out of the box .. and then I think ya might be getting warmer ......................................... I know, I can be rotten sometimes 🙂

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    "You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment" - I do far too much commenting anyway sometimes.

                  • L. B. Mek

                    yup,
                    just wait till history books
                    'write it up', all tidy
                    and retrospectively - tampered with, fact
                    who, to blame - blamed likely
                    survivors decreed, mere lucky
                    and for those in power, an opportunity
                    Missed-out or Capitalised upon
                    so just another dogmatic tale
                    to be worded and preached
                    for the lowly majority's
                    fearmongering attuned, manageability's ease
                    cyclical, isn't cynical enough
                    to do our capacity for pathetic
                    enough justice!
                    still, we got Big Brother's apps didn't we
                    all Orwell prophesised and everything...

                    • Neville



                      you just came very close to blowing my cover in those last two lines of yours L.B ...... and those history books were due to be altered tomorrow anyway ... 🙂

                    • dusk arising

                      I blame that washing machine I bought in 2018 for being secretly made in China.

                      • Neville



                        get outa here .. you did wot 🙂

                      • Andrew Charles Forrest

                        But can we now rcognise the corrupt?... with their face masks on?

                        Great thought of the day Nev
                        Thank you Loved it

                        • Neville



                          depends on where they are wearing them mate ..... cheers though and good to see you here my friend .................................................................... 🙂

                          Covid is the thief, who steals life
                          from unsuspecting souls,
                          spreading corruption and strife
                          Oh yes , it has a strong hold

                          Not even masked men can conquer
                          Though try and trace
                          Oh, what we humans endure
                          With a Mask upon their face

                          Found in your blood stream
                          Searched in your pocket of privacy
                          Covid makes every soul scream
                          It came from you, not me

                          • Neville

                              So true, corruption has always been there unless you see through it and move along a different pathway.
