More on Doom and another two poems/jokes
“Never in our lifetimes, it seems, has there been greater uncertainty about the future–and greater ignorance of the past.” So begins the first sentence of Niall Ferguson’s recent text Doom about natural and man-made disasters.
I have not finished the book, but the premise is especially interesting to me because of Covid-19. I think the damage from the virus was mainly the result of government over-reaction. And what government authorities did about it affected me at a very personal level.
I think authorities often over-react. Police physically brutalize non-violent “criminals,” and government officials often over-react to minor or natural problems. “Everyone thinks they are right.” Right.
“Another Protest” by yours truly
“We don’t give a s–t!
We don’t give a s–t!
You should have not been born!
Not have been born!
And stop watching porn!
Stop watching porn!
Just sleep ’til morn’.
Just sleep ’til morn’.
(And drink a lot of water,
While wearing a Coronavirus mask).”
“The Pun-th” by yours truly
“I want the pun-th!”
“You can’t handle the pun-th!”
