OVER THE RAINBOW
I never saw covid the way that
you did, for three years
We smothered
In masks... Iย don't kid
I never saw lockdown, t'was all
work for me
Along empty motorways
No cars to see
I hated the fake claps
A government screen
For there at the start, not one
ward was safe, clean
I never saw covid the way that
you did, for three years
We smothered inย masks
I don't kid
They couldn't find paper for
masks to be made, the brave
NHS was a public facade
We'd sit in our cars at the start of
each shift
Terrified. Helpless. And.
Wanting To Live
But nobody cared that t'was bare
faced were we, the heart does
not grieve what a camera
can't see
I never saw covid the wayย
Thatย you did
For three years we smotheredย
In masks
I don't kid
employers that lied to us
course we were safe...
and so t'was
more colleagues
succumbed to god's grace โค
I hated the rainbowsย
such things have two sides
now rainbows
For me
Are the shorthand for lies
I did like
That earth was
For onceย
A new whole
Helping all countries was now
The new goal
I liked that when masks
Were all finally found, they
travelled the globe
To be shared to all round
And there lies the trauma, the
trauma was this...
When world's mask came off
Well...
The world did not kiss
It picked up its guns within
weeks of clean air, so now
all the people we'd helpedย
Just Die There
instead...
In memory

real people. dead workers.

Dear Marion, there are not enough stars to reward this, I saw it all from the outside Boris Johnson's Government should be in jail in my opinion as for Boris he didn't just do so much damage in the COVID era but in every minute he was in office. Sorry to say, I have an opinion as I too am British. I'm so sorry for the loss of those amazing NHS workers, beautiful people running a wonderful public service all dishonoured by lies. I still have friends who work for the NHS. I will bow to them and you. ๐น
I love that you dislike Boris as much as me Shirley though I dislike all of our toxic governments. Don't bow to me lol...I was low down in the pecking order of the NHS...but very front line.ย I will never forgive them for the blatant lies, terror and risk they put us through. Never. And for what i now ask myself?? The killing continues all over the world.
Its true that within 2 weeks of the public removing masks for the final time...the world picked up its guns once more.ย Thankyou love X
Believe me as a British abroad no one can dislike him more than me, he is scum I cannot believe they are still in government sunak no better. A bunch of proper ...holes but hey who am I to judge, what ever you do in the NHS from brain surgeon down to the cleaning team and the dinner ladies I salute each and every one of you always. 1000% respect to you โค๏ธ

I have no words but a whole lot of respect .. x
Ah no need, it only recently struck me in a conversation with my daughter how her covid experience and most of publicsย was completely at odds with mine/ ours. When I saw Breathtaking on ITVxย I thought it had been written about the hospital I had worked in... so completely was that our exact same experience....even the husband and wife being put side by side in ITU, she was a HCA and both her and her husband had succumbed and it went all round the hospital that they were placed side by side in ITU...they both died needless deaths as we were working with no protection at the time....when boris was singing happy birthday!! It made me realise though (we knew at the time) how... collectively ...we had been betrayed. I think its only now a lot of covid workers are beginning to process what happened. And now that world that scrambled to help each nation is again just a killing machine. Pointless...all pointless. I ramble again...sorry ..hugs...it's good to see you back xx
There are few people whom I detest as much as I do both BJ & DT .. on second thoughts, there aint anyone but I know exactly what you mean about betrayal .. despicable innit x
Today's government are no better...we are headed to a dystopian society ... it's sneaking in by the back door Nev. No dentists, joking doctors, no social housing, criminalization of the homeless,ย
the appalling Universal Credit system, the rotten dustribution of wealth, the A1 that is a cover for our toxic government to beat the little man which is silently happening again with the persecution of carers by DWP, little access to legal aid...I wont go on. I now believe capitalism like communism doesn't work either. Happy Monday ๐
by the way...do Physicians Assistants pretend to be Psychiatrists yet?? ...only a matter of time!! ๐
I don't mind admitting that I agree with every word .. and no, not in my book anyway .. I believe in some areas they are not even allowed to prescribe .. I wonder how many other fancy titles they will come up with before I do decide to knock it on the head xxย
It's just a downgrading of every service and...the magic trick??
this generation will never moan because they will never remember how it once was.ย
I would be really annoyed if I was still in my thirty's but I'm tired and will hopefully be gone before the worst hits but I worry as we all do ...for our children. I think they can prescribe only very limited drugs...under the supervision of a proper doctor who...of course ...doesn't know untill the review. ( in this area anyway) I know because my daughter was given antibiotics she was allergic to because thats all the PA could prescribe!!) Its all quite brilliant really...the sham of it all. And I'm really looking forward to when people work into their 70's...on their zimmer frames!!! I can picture the poor builders and firemen etc now!!!

Flipping heck .. retirement it is then x
Marion, for what its worth, you are the bravest in my eyes. You are most talented. what an exceptional write.
We were never brave we would sit in our cars texting each other trying not to run home and risk getting sacked.ย
It's lovely to see you back on here Lisa...I will take a peek to see if you've posted. Thankyou my friend x
