Poem -
REAL LIVES....(in memory of all the front line workers who have lost their lives)
So I sit in darkness
A tear spills my eye
But does it really matter
That I cry...
The essence of you far away
Another post on Facebook today
As sympathy wishes flood the
ββββββpage
Your living selves gaze out
Hard workers unprotected
A virus not expected
A working day
What price to payΒ
With you snatched now
away
And families left in heartbreak
And colleagues shocked and sad
Smug faces on the TV spew
We're trying very hard
Shame on you Britain
You had plenty of time
To get it in order
You failed us this time
So I sit in darkness
A tear spills my eye
But does it really matter
That I cry....
It won't bring you backΒ

Marionette,Β
So beautifully put. I'm so sorry about your friends, or co-workers. I'm sure there honored by your beautiful write.Β
So sorry I haven't been on, either. As you know, it's been a rough stretch, but it's so good to see your gorgeous words again.Β
Take care, and I'll see you soon.Β
Hugs,Β
Matthew.Β
Matthew, sorry for late reply...thankyou..hugs ?
Oh Marion this really is sad. I was reading an article today about all the stockpiled ppe.... Stockpiled! In a massive warehouse. ?. I agree with you... We should have gone into lock down far earlier. They knew years ago what our hospitals needed for a future pandemic....and they didn't bother getting it sorted. Now we are in a position where the health workers are being made to work in a danger zone with no protection, risking not only their lives but also that of their family.
Germany appear to be getting it right.
R.I.P Sharon and Jenelyn ?????. xx
Sorry for late reply BM ( hope Matthews not looking?)...yes it's truly shocking what's going on...we are fighting of course and it's taking my all my time!!...I hope there is an enquiry at the end of all this ?
There needs to be a HUGE enquiry! They must not be allowed to brush this under the carpet. And they also need to invest very very heavily in the NHS ...to think, 3 years ago they capped all the doctors and nurses pay...absurdΒ and unfair. I hope they realise now what an important and priceless treasure we have in the NHS.
Hope you are keeping well, Marion...hugs x
Do you know they downgraded this highly contagious worldwide pandemic which spreads like wildfire and for which we have no immunity to a lesser disease in order to justify the downgraded PPE??? We have surgical masks not respiratory masks for confirmed'!!!..I have no words left but tons of anger...real.people...real lives ??
Marion, that is awful!Β I did not know that, no ???Β Downgraded it?Β Disgusting!Β Seems like the lunatics really have taken over the asylum.Β Stay safe xx
Sorry for the late BM??!! Hey, this is a family site! Let's keep the bodily function talk to a minimum! Thank you, Management.Β
LOL. You rule, Marionette!Β

Lol...you nutter...(Welsh for...fun!) ???
Cyber-hugs to you my friend...

My heart goes out to you and your friendβs family. This virus didn't happen overnight. I like the tone of your poem because this virus could have been eliminated by the world shutting down much sooner.
We watched the television for a long time about the virus in China, our government waited as well. So worried about the economy and people have lost their lives because of it.
Sending you well wishes and a boat load of, "virtual hugs."Β
The last stanza is emotion packed.Β

Katina...so sorry for late reply...thankyou. yes some countries it appears care about their citizens while others( and wouldn't you know it...the richest ?) couldn't give a hoot!! Couple lost along the way...no problem, so long as enough worker bees are alive to keep them rich!!...shocking!! ?
So sorry for your loss Marion, this so beautifully and eloquently written.Β Hugs to you.
Not my loss Simon..I woukdnt claim that....colleagues I knew and liked very much ....god bless their families ?
Tough stuff! Great write.
Thanks John ?
My Dear Lady Marion,
As in your beloved country, our corrupt President failed us too.Β Β
Your poem is a brilliant expose on "The Slaughter Of The Lambs".
Unlike your beloved "Robin Hood", who stole to feed the poor
The Coronavirus robs the lives of all, a monster so abhorred
Brave Souls tend to the dying, but sometimes fall to it's deadly prey
They join their fellow patients, and painfully slip away
All my love,
Larry xxx
