Thank you, Michael, for so deeply and eloquently putting into words what is in our hearts. I feel we are now shadows of the people we used to be, but beautiful, powerful pieces like this help heal the unresolved trauma.
You have a beautiful gift of expressing thoughts in writing. This is such a powerful piece! You have captured the essence of the silent majority. Thank you and well done!
I felt this when they locked down all of us, and especially I felt this for the old people in the retirement and nursing homes, having their families barred from visiting them. I knew, I knew deep down, this was blackest evil. And the worst of it, the people around me, for the most part, were zombified blind to it.
Some people (maybe even lots of them) know deep in their hearts that they have been lied to again and again. But they are scared to admit it, to tell it , who knows what the evil powers have in store for "traitors" ? And then: It is so evil, it is very hard to believe that a Government can do something like that to its citizens - so it may be that the "experts" have been right.
For some people with side effects it is magical thinking: "If I contradict what the experts say I will be punished by a problem that is even worse " - and on and on it goes, and in the end shame that they got you....
Well if watching and listening to that gorgeous man, along with the video of the horror shrine day( I was there in the city that day), doesn’t create the teardrop
stream down one’s face, I don’t know what else could. Thanks Michael.
So well written and expressing how we all feel. Thank you Michael.

Great poem. I have shared it on Medium. I edited it slightly.
