    Poems by Jake Cosmos Aller

    Wearing a Mask is not a political statement

    to my friends in America

    and around the world

    to those who think

    that somehow the corona virus

    only infects other people

    that it is all a liberal hoax

    overblown

    nothing more than a bad flu

    and nothing to do with me

    demanding that we all go

    back to work

    what is wrong with you?

    have you lost your humanity?

    will millions have to die

    so you can have a Big Mac?

     

    so you can have a Big Mac

    and a beer

    whenever you damn please

    and no one can tell you

    please wear a mask

    have you lost all reason

    is it all now

    about owning the dems

    and the damn libtards

    is there any thing left

    in your cold greedy heart?

    and you still proclaim

    that you are Christian

    as you violate all the Christian principles

    what would Jesus do

     

    what would Jesus do

    what does the bible say

    we should do

    in the midst of this pandemic

    is it the Christian thing to do

    to let millions of people die

    did not Christ talk about love

    compassion and mercy

    would not Jesus

    wear a mask

    to protect himself

    and others

    from this ravaging disease

    that does not care

     

    that does not care

    who you are

    who you voted for

    which church you go to

    and Jesus and God

    are not there

    watching all of us

    as the virus spreads

    it will affect you

    sooner or later

    and when it does

    perhaps if you had worn

    a mask

     

    A mask

    you might have prevented

    a few more people

    have died

    a few more people

    including your grandfather

    grandmother

    friend

    relative might be alive

    if you were not such

    a self centered man

    and I appeal to you man

    to man up become a member

    of the human race again

    Wearing a Mask Saves Lives

    To the owner of Liberty Bar and Grill

    I understand that you are banning

    wearing of masks inside your bar

    because somehow wearing a mask

    offends you and your Christian values

    and makes a political statement

    that the person wearing a mask

    is a libtard or a Democrat

    or anti-Trump

    and those kinds are not welcomed

    in your bar and grill

    therefore you are putting your staff

    your friends and your family at risk

    of catching and spreading

    the corona virus

     

    the corona virus

    You say that you don’t care

    if people get the corona virus

    it is nothing but a cold or flu

    but the thing about it

    the deadly thing about the virus

    the virus does not care about you

    or your political views

    and if you or your friends catch it

    some of them will get sick and die

    and it would all be because of your actions

    and wearing a mask is not

    a political statement

    wearing a mask does not show weakness

     

    wearing a mask does not show weakness

    and does not mean that the wearer

    is a political enemy

    I would respect you more

    if you posted a sign

    no liberals, democrats

    non-whites, gays and anti-Trumpers

    allowed but that would be illegal

    so you take it out on mask wearers

    you are so following the Christian faith

    what would Jesus say to you

    I wonder?

    Just shut up already

    Put on the damn mask no doubt

    End of America

    In 2020 we are seeing the end

    of America

    a virus spreads out

    across the land

    the economy craters

    100 thousands of Americans

    lie dead

    then protests break out

    over the brutal murder

    of a named black man

    in broad daylight

    and protests break out

    all over the land

    America is divided

    America is breaking down

    America is breaking down,

    dying in our streets

    and politicians

    are calling for a crackdown

    is a fascist military take over coming soon

    will all protests be deemed illegal

    as the police state takes over

    and America lies dying

    and will the fascists

    finally take over the land

    and we become just another

    failed former democracy?

    will the world soon forget

    that America died this summer

    the summer of the end of America

    October Falling Rain

    The falling rain
    Of late October
    Fills me with essential dread

    As I rush about
    And end up here
    Wherever here is

    The rain outside
    Seems like the tears of god

    As I sit
    Crying over my beer

    Thinking of lost love
    And failed dreams

    Wondering
    What went wrong?
    And what I can set right

    And the rain falls
    And the night darkens

    The rain is falling
    All over this man’s world

    And the rain falls
    And I sit

    Drinking my lonesome drink
    Lost in dreams

    Dreaming of what
    Could never be

    Thinking dark thoughts
    And so I sit
    And dream the night away

    The Story of How We Met

    It all began in Berkeley, California
    In the spring time of 1974

    One fateful afternoon
    I was dozing
    in my high school Physics class.

    SONY DSC

    I looked up
    and saw a tall, beautiful Asian woman
    standing looking at me.

    She was the most beautiful women
    in the universe to me

    Park_Shin-hye

    I screamed out, who are you?
    She disappeared
    like she was beamed away
    from my dream.

    I knew that someday
    I would meet the girl
    In the dream

    Little did I know
    I would have
    to wait until 1982

    Starting that month
    I began having the same dream
    Month and month and month.
    Always the same.

    She was saying something
    in a strange language.

    Then one day I had the dream
    and knew that she was in Korea.

    So, I chose to go Korea
    In the Peace Corps,

    Somehow knowing
    That I would meet her there.

    One day
    A year after the Peace Corps ended

    A month before I planned
    to leave to return
    to the U.S. for graduate school

    That morning early in the morning
    I had the last of these dreams.
    This time I understood her.

    She said, “Don’t worry.
    We’ll meet soon.”

    That evening
    As I was getting off the bus
    To go to my class

    I saw getting off the bus

    hitching a ride

    The girl in my dream.
    It was she!

    I was speechless.
    I did not know what to do.

    Over the course of the evening
    I ran into her several times.

    Finally, I was introduced to her.
    I muttered some lame excuse
    About wanting to find a Korean tutor
    and got her number.

    The next day she came to the gate
    Of my base where I was teaching
    ESL to Koreans

    She said that she had to speak with me.
    I told to wait in the library
    for about an hour,
    and I would cancel class

    and meet her then.
    We went out for coffee.

    She told me
    that she was madly
    in love with me

    And simply had to have me.
    I told her I felt the same way.

    I proposed five days later,
    And got married one month later.
    Does she believe this story?

    She claims she does not believe it
    Because it is impossible to be true.

    But I know that there are other worlds
    and other times.

    In a past life we must have been together somehow.
    And our love was so strong

    That it crossed over
    the barrier of past lives.

    She found me in 1974,
    But it took until 1982
    For us to actually meet.

    And it has been 35 years
    Since we met in the physical sphere
    Or 43 years since the dream began

    And I still recall the dream
    And meeting her

    I had no choice
    When I met her

    We were fated to be together
    Until the end of this lifetime
    And the next and the next

    Sure. I’ll send this around tomorrow and post it on my blog. Thanks for making my day.
