I am tired I feel sick What is happening? The Covid-19 story All the rules Changing from day to day Masks are bad They are needed for front-liners Masks are good They keep others safe Masks are not necessary They actually do no good Social distancing is smart Thought up by a sixth grader Vilified by epidemiologists Including John Hopkins studies Isolate yourself if possible Cause of many deaths Place the sick in nursing homes This caused many unnecessary deaths “If you can do it safely was implied” It was easier to blame the President Walmart is fine; Mom and Pops – No Elected surgery –No; Abortion –Yes Tattoo –Yes; Haircuts –No The rules of dictators; too risky to violate Don’t go north for the holiday; Dictator goes north 100,000 dead; President is blamed for not caring He cared from day one and set policies This is while he was being impeached The Speaker of the House celebrates in Chinatown People are eager to have open up as in Florida Other governors refuse to act reasonably Houses of Worship must remain closed Multi-trillion dollar relief packages passed Money goes to special pet projects and the arts Desperate people remain desperate Illegal aliens are granted entitlements People are going stir-crazy Four policeman involved in the murder of a shop-lifter by kneeling on his neck He states that he cannot breath This is captured on video Citizens protest; taking to the streets Are distraught because of confinement Antifa members flown in to begin riots Black Lives Matter members enter the fray Civil demonstration turns into full-blown chaos Protests expand into cities around country Again Antifa members flown in to orchestrate the riots and destruction; it appears well intended to those who will suffer the unintended consequences The uprising and rebellion will cost billions to repair and has destroyed all of the recent gains This was the real purpose; not the protest of the death of a human being Frustration leads to anger; it is a two way street Leadership is needed but cannot be found Insurrection cannot be controlled The intifada has been successful The losses unparalleled Closed worship houses cannot respond The real enemy wins again We can only begin once more Justice will prevail; the murderers will be tried They will be punished for their crime Citizens will walk around dazed Covid-19 will be forgotten Religion may make new inroads; appealing to People’s precepts and what is important We will recover; it will take a great deal of time I am tired; you are tired We feel sick; we are sick Our hearts ache We cannot ask why We know why It is time to get our house in order Time to remember the forgotten Stanski May 30, 2020 ^
