Not Quite Out of the Blue

Not Quite Out of the Blue

A Poem by Neville

Not Quite Out of the Blue

 

No one saw the virus

Hit

The seen it all before

Route was just so

Goddamn  

Poorly lit  

Or should I say it was

Ignored

And more than just a

Little bit

Until it was too late

For some of us at least

Sad but true

Thanks though for the

Gift of distance  

Plus all that other s**t

Remember

Since the end is nigh

Dont

Just sit back as

So many other people

Die  

Do something good

For once  

Listen to the people cry

We want to make

Love

We don’t want

To be fucked

By presidents’ politicians

Bullies and thugs

We could all see it coming

It was simply 

Not quite out of the blue ..

WHOA! Powerful! I'm not feeling "virus" here . . . this is the closest I've seen you come to a worldwide political rant & I love it, coming from you. I feel you trying NOT to make this a political statement, so the political part is understated, but I feel pure political disgust (yep, so many feelin' it) & that's what we're mainlining these days. Unfortunately my vision is one of continuing crises, not an awakening becuz of this one (((SLUGS))) Fondly, Margie

No, not out of the blue at all. There were warnings early on, but I suppose taking proper precautions were too inconvenient. America couldn't have a worse president at this time. Surely, your leadership is far superior.

absolute truth here, especially the last nine lines....which ring like a loud bell that we heard in the distance long before we got near the church in which the funerals are taking place with no attendees.
