If Covid Media was a Senryu

 


If Covid Media was a Senryu

 


(A lone voice whispers)



Citizens line up 

(5)


Like spellbound blinded cash cows 

(7)


Follow our orders

(5)



A senryu must be exactly 3 lines.


Like a Haiku, a senryu must follow the 5-7-5 format:


The first line must have 5 syllables.

The second line must have 7 syllables.

The third line must have 5 syllables.



A senryu focuses on humans and usually contains irony.


It usually focuses on human nature.

It is not written about nature or the seasons.


A senryu does not have to rhyme.


Excess death figures recently released are truly tragic. 


43,000 nursing home deaths attributed to false narratives and gaslighting of the public at the time. (UK) 


The link to vaccines and the ensuing theatre seems undeniable. 


But how can medical practitioners, doctors, nurses, etc. 


Keep administering them with a clear conscience, despite the huge data relating to life-changing injuries and sudden death?


Answer. 


Radix malorum est cupiditas

(Greed is the root of evils)
