Le monde paisible ou la mort



WORLD WAR COVID
Poems, mine and theirs


Where to?
 

Where have all the flowers gone?
All gone.

Where did the songbirds go?
Into cats’ belly and virus spawn.

Where do the sirens go?
They come near.

Where did that bell toll again?
It rang at home.

Where did the monsters go?
All come home with us.

Where, the brown shirts?
To the home’s doorstep.

Where did the Devil get to?
Got to leverage himself to landlord the home.

Where has bad weather gone?
It’s come on home.

Where do you think danger went?
Home.

Where did Doomsday go?
It makes itself right at home.

Where did the books go?
To burn in winter.

Where did the good cooks go?
To feed the warlords.

Where are my lovers?
They have gone home,

The best ones have gone;
Who is left with me now?

Where did our parents go?
Gone to orphan every elder.

Where did happiness go?
At home to wait.

Where is safety?
At home? Elsewhere? Who knows?

Where did my friends go?
Gone home to die.

Where has hope gone?
Home to rest.

Where has stupidity gone?
Home to rule the roost.

Where has hate gone?
To burn down the house.

Where did honor go?
That held everything else together.

Mastery, better than costly cheap,
But bettered buy it.

Where did the reassuring past go?
At home beyond our reach.

Where is the present?
Gone into the past untouched by us 

Where will the future get to?
The future is waiting for you here.

Where did responsibility go?
Home to bite our ass.

Where have you gone to?
Astronauts sucking vacuum
And calling it milk shake?

Where have I gone?
I await a good sign as always.
Is that a good sign, silence?

With cane, knees, lungs and sweat glands
Pumping uphill; eyes skyward,
I dream of upward flight.

How to learn to fly while still awake?
And not be a dinosaur or a sleeping dreamer ?
Unless to achieve a peaceful end.
