You Cannot Shoot Or Electrocute It, by Ivor Steven
Hola my dear friends

You Cannot Shoot Or Electrocute It
I see grey clouds drifting across the sky
And I hear the great white bear continue to lie
You cannot shoot it
Nor can you electrocute it
I cannot hear your bullets blazing
Nor can your bombs do the erasing
Your insincere words cannot stop it
Nor can your falsehoods hide it
I cannot see your pain and fears
Nor can I see your sympathetic tears
Your money keeps you safe in the ivory tower
But will your money send the people flowers
Ivor Steven (c) March 2020

“All Along The Watchtower”
“There must be some way out of here,” said the joker to the thief,
“There’s too much confusion, I can’t get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know what any of it…
“There’s too much confusion, I can’t get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know what any of it…

Day 8: 29th March 2020
Hello lovely people!
The world is a difficult place to be in right now and I hope you are keeping safe. Perhaps we need to escape to another planet in a distant galaxy to escape these little monsters! But until that could become possible, I am just washing my hands a million times a day and writing my lockdown journal.
Please come and have a look, share your stories and tips, or just give my writing some support with a like and a follow. Reach it through the reblog or click on the latest post from the Journal in my sidebar.
Thank you for being here for me! Love you all!
Sunday. A week has passed in lockdown and the days have begun to slide into one another. There is not much feeling that comes with the weekend, except for what the mind can muster up by looking at the calendar on the phone.
Enforced captivity is a strange thing, an amalgam of quiet, calmness and anxiety all merging together. There are moments when one takes over the other, and I am trying to keep the anxiety moments to the minimum.
The weather is a yoyo, veering between warm and cool from one day to the next, a time when the common cold always makes its presence felt. Right now, every little sniffle feels like a dire predicament, what with the doomsday predictions that are the stuff news headlines are made of. However, the vibe in the street is of a timeless quiet, a neutral void, and that is definitely a…
