You have captured nicely with this senryu the devilish I don't give a you no what about anyone else attitude about the lives others. Sad that this has become a politicsl issue instead of a health concern issue

Yes, the politics does confuse the health problem. Let?s hope the vaccine will help mitigate the crisis. Thanks for your comments.

This senryu, Wear the Mask, presented as a 5-7-5, touches on the somehow controversial idea of NOT spreading a deadly virus to friends and neighbors.

You are absolutely right. Wearing a mask has nothing to do with your political view. It is just smart. Stay safe. Keep healthy.
Comment from Debbie Pope
I love this, mystery writer. I cannot tell you how many poems I have written about wearing masks. Sometimes I too feel they are the devil incarnate. If I were honest, I'd say I feel that way to all non mask wearers. They are the selfish in this world. Disgusting.
Here I go again. You said it well. Glad you did.

Debbie,
It is unbelievable that some persons believe that wearing a mask is against their political tenets. In my mind, it is obscenely unprincipled logic. The science says that wearing a mask helps mitigate the spread of the disease to others. Of course, some of these same people question the legitimacy of our 2020 Presidential election and/or support the ridiculous court challenges to overturn the (popular) vote in some states.
Stay safe. Keep healthy. We will survive this crisis.
Pleased you agree with my sentiment.

I definitely do. This contest is turning very political.
