FRONT LINE DELIVERY
Battered army truck
pulls up, stops.
Driver, in protective gear,
jumps out, opens
truck back door,
keeps engine running.
Soldiers sprint up
from their trenches.
Driver passes boxes
that must have pizza
to soldiers delight
as they rush back
to safe trenches
and driver rushes off
before a mortar hits.
It's meal time for
fighters and defenders
of Ukraine!
HOW MANY WILL DIE?
People will die
the president-
dictator has so
decreed.
Some by hate-
filled violence,
to be normal now.
Others by disease,
because diseases
do not exist
when we hide them.
And collisions
in transportation,
because safety
“costs too much.”
Lives don't matter.
How long
will this go on?
TO STOP THE PLAGUE
Friends dying.
even family too,
all alone
far from those
they know and love:
Death
in covid time,
as any pandemic
when society
turned upside down.
Isolation is solution
to halt spread
of infection
if people would
but learn,
yet some persist
in being spreaders
and more die.
