Spring Is Precious

-- A valley in the Rockies --

Spring is precious, this I know

     – Bout flowers, leaf’s and fragrance in the wind that blow Baseball, BBQ’s, Track & Field – Give a sense of life’s rebirth,

                    no longer bound in our homes, we yield

 Neighbors, best friends, even first time folk

     – Join in conversation, play, laughter and joke

 Summertime plans and what you’ll do

     – Discussions of the simple, the difficult, these make us what & who

 But that was Spring of yesteryear

     – Now germs, science, and politics … things we fear

 Create stress, anger, division great

     – We’re a country of freedoms, not one, but fifty States

 To separate ourselves, put on the mask 

     – This is the science … say they, so tend to your task

But science is such that many do test

     – Allow me to decide, intelligent am I and so are the rest

The need of a friend, to work and provide 

     – Essential are these, but from them they must hide

The answer, not so easy to see

      – Your rights, my rights … Let’s honor them, be kind and be free

Spring is precious, this I know

     – Bout flowers, leaf’s and fragrance in the wind that blow

During this unprecedented time of --- COVID-19 --- our country is at such amazing opposition to each other. The “narrative” speaks to obedience of the "authority" … of the “science”. None-the-less, there IS another side. And yet the other side is looked upon as mere idiots. I’m sorry, but I’m intelligent as well. Please allow me the freedom to look at the evidence, for much there is contrary to the “establishment”.

There have been a few times that I’ve wanted to respond out of anger, but then I’m reminded of what I call the “Wilberforce Factor”. His fight, his perseverance with integrity intact. So, on the morning of May 19 I sat and penned the above in about an hour.

Let’s continue to fight … continue to persevere … with our integrity intact!

Is it not worth dialogue? You're telling me that each one is conspiracy? --- Or perhaps it is "science" as well ---
