  1. Their music and the tragic loss of 1000 US citizens to corona virus on April Fool's day, as well as the loss of going on 2 million to the Rwandan genocide of the Tutsi and moderate Huti in 1994, inspired the following twig of poetree :)




    Will Evolution Ever Write A Requiem For The Covid Blues?


    The great Ellis Marsalis, Jr., died of corona virus in NOLA,
    one of a thousand that passed away this Avril Fool's, from it,
    all of whom will be missed dearly, "...we(e),..."'ll ever bay.

    In his day, near his death, (W.A.) Mozart said to his wife,
    "I fear I am writing a requiem for myself", as he composed
    'Requiem Mass in D minor- Lacrimosa', of unparalleled beauty.

    With rheumatic fever hitting Europe at that time, and soon
    after, yellow fever in Philly, here, epidemics and pandemics
    became common, the worst, 1918 Spanish Flu, 1/2 a bill dead.

    listening to comedy ring hollow, a necessary alternative to
    the news that isn't new, my ear longs for his veracious music.
    How can USA have the worst response to it among technocracies?

    Our king-kong sized terrible-two, Rump, playing his keystone
    President act for 3 months has determined the repub conspiracy's,
    global oligarchy's agenda's yoke tighten around the people's neck.

    The stealing of social security from the elderly, infirm, through
    Covid-19 exterminating them more than others, this couldn't get
    done politcally by the repubs for 2 decades. As well, the poor

    to lower-middle-class, especially people of color, can't afford
    to defend themselves usually, now it's worse. "Stimulus bills"?,
    over 1/2 a trill to bail out small, big businesses, pay big Pharma,

    medical supplies corps, who're already making hand over fist from
    the bidding war between States, federal agencies, dictating Bush,
    Rump klans who're heavily invested, ever increasing kafknching.

    Coastal regions, big cities, mostly dems, are murdered more by
    virtue of #, close proximity, needs, Rump's re-election plan.
    This while he kept his criminal cuts to SNAP, still stealing food

    from mouths of babes and handing it to billionaires. Same as
    it ever was, class war, repubs using jobs they don't do, to mass-
    exterminate non-repubs instead. like the serial murderers who

    masquerade as cops, killers ..., as doctors, judges as justices.
    The 'big fix' is in, if it ain't fixed don't break it, stop all
    criminal insanity, if not you then who, here, where, now, when?

    This leaf of poetree, although it just a twig be, may be my last.
    If so, I'm honored to pass with such great artists, yet, hopefully
    not from skyrocketing price of living. Social distance, wear mask.



    Copy, share as you will. Thanx for all you do; have a good eve'.

  2. Your post's blues and it being April reminded me of the best movie on the genocide of the Tutsi and moderate Huti in 1994, the epic 'Sometimes in April', starring Idris Elba; the second best movie I've seen on it is the epic 'Hotel Rwanda', starring Don Cheadle. Point, it's also good to remember, it reminds us we're human. Glad to read it. Thanx; have a great eve' :) reality
