THE TRIUMPH OF THE FOURTH HORSEMAN

THE TRIUMPH OF THE FOURTH HORSEMAN - by Omari D. Forrester aka 'Mega'


I kill microscopically.

Biology, virology, and all the 'ologies'
can't define how I'm dropping these body's
bodies, with no apostrophe; no apologies.
I kill more men than women: no misogyny.

Yeah what up? Ya know me: it's the Wuhan OG.
Straight out the Hubei. Rep the COV.

CDC couldn't hold me: I'm too low key.
Killed SARs in '03; that was my Dad, homie.

Grew up in a lab lonely; no Moms to console me.
Eurostep like Ginobili & spread globally.

It’s a new day. I’m a new enemy for a new age.
Forget the new AIDs, dummy: I’M THE NEW PLAGUE!

Priests hiding; praying science can save the day.
Nurses looking danger pay while the soldiers lay in wait.
Militaries want my autograph... they can wait.
I got half a mill more to kill, in 80 days.

This ain't the 1880s; I'm not rabies.
Vaccines can’t slay me; anti-virals, maybe.
But you still have to test it out on African babies.

Your plan is gone in a puff of smoke; clutching onto luck & hope.
I will make 911 look like a f*ck!n joke.

I have limitless potential: my growth rate's exponential.
My economic downturn's cyclical; I am biblical!!
The best who ever did it. My acclaim: CRITICAL!

    Mega, great rhythm and rhyming. I particularly like that it has been written from the virus.

THE GIFT OF HISTORY

Doug Dunn    The last time I studied history was 50 years ago. My teacher seemed to encouraged seemed my history class learn dates and important facts by heart. I remember listening to him read the French Revolution textbook while underlining the important bits. After two years I learned enough of European history to pass the exam. After school the only other history class I attended was at university where the history of science was part of my Astrophysics course. That was more of an inquiry than parrot learning and more interactive. After my school and university I had no more history education in that subject. I decided history was something not very relevant to my job as an IT trainer and was not something I enjoyed talking talk about with my friends and family. I still remember a few names of famous writers such as Voltaire, 1694-1778, and that he contributed to the French Revolution through being an outspoken advocate of civil liberties. But I had no sense of who he was ...

'This is my day', a poem by Rachel Mathews-McKay

Image
‘This is My Day’ This is my day, these are my choices These are my actions and my changing voices. Many paths lay ahead and many paths I leave behind, Which way will I go, which way will I find? And you ask me to decide, You ask me to choose one way. But I can’t follow a single path, I am happy to stray. I don’t mean to get lost and I don’t mean to lose sight, I just mean that I’ll wander through the day and the night. And when I say wander I mean that I’ll venture, I mean that I’ll take chances and not live by a censor. For I am confident that opportunities will lead me to great things, I am open to life’s challenges and all that life brings. My heart is wide open to embrace and to share, And my mind is as hungry to learn and to dare.’ by Rachel Mathews-McKay, Dublin, Ireland Biography:  Rachel Mathews-Mckay – mixed race of Irish, Jamaican, Bermudian and Canadian heritage but born in Bradford, West Yorkshire. She has been settled in Dublin, Ireland for the past 21 years where, sin...
