"When was the last time, you ever saw the sunrise?" Missed it today, slept in dreamer of other dimensions, Grandpa D would understand me and the dreams.
Covid 19 leaves some areas, ravaged, broken, yet despite 3 1/2 months of working from home, people traveling to other areas spread the virus, some being highly social who partied too much, some political rallies not necessary to these times, no masks, packed in like sardines in a can, and then like all dependable ants they carry it back to their nests and their relatives and friends, many of who are not aware of how social the other has been, and the unsuspecting carry it about in their days to more ants.
The Southern and southwestern states now raging, they had reopened way to early and freely, not enough hospital beds, not enough safety equipment to support now or when they peak. Refrigerator trucks brought in to house the dead who cannot be processed to burial as fast as they die, more on order.
Domestic travel opens up due to whining airlines, restaurants and bars reopen, supposed to be with distancing and masks, half the country won't comply with masks or distancing as they have either not lost someone to it yet, or they follow that Bozo the Clown that says he's a leader when all he's really done is line his own familial pockets and gone way to social trying to gain an election win this November.
So many industries still closed, or people laid off, unemployment hits all time highs, cost to cities and states across the land will surely bring record tax bill increases.
Schools wanting to re-open, teachers and children at risk, when it does strike a child it goes for the organs and clots them to death sucking the oxygen out of them all until organ failure ensues, or picture all the asymptomatic ones bringing it home to the family members, many cared for by grandma and grandpa, or a pregnant aunt, yes Covid is not friendly to pregnant ladies either.
If Grandpa was here this would surely bring a "SSSHH!'. Me, I just wander in my sleep thinking about my family and praying it stays away, telling my son to have a spare mask with for insta cart deliveries to his home, or the bizarre bug sales person who has whored with the whole neighborhood before ringing his doorbell.
To get this to stop we'd all have to stay home simultaneously for another 3 months, and conform.
No traveling to the beat of your own drum unless it's for the good of humanity.
We all walk through our days together knowing we're not quite alone in it. When one is weak, another is strong, that with time and care we can survive it all, enjoying all the great days in between. The Good outweighs the Bad, and Forgiveness walks hand in hand with Love, doesn't it?
