EVER FARTHER
by Michael Langston

Though once very close…
(Drawn together as lovers,
Across a continent I traveled
To stand at your side
On that snow-covered shore),
Though once very close,
You feel strangely more distant
And seem to grow ever farther…
In your heart and your spirit
I seem to fade more and more.

So many things
That we try to hold on to
Are like sand through our fingers:
In a moment they go!
It’s so very sad
When something so precious
Is melting before us
Like the late winter snow.

Apart once again,
In the dark I awaken
From dreams of us standing
Beside that cold, stormy sea,
But like a ship in that harbor
Sailing out ever farther
Into the dim seaside sunset,
So your love is to me.

Safe and effective treatments for COVID already existed and were known to work at the start of the so-called pandemic. But instead of promoting them, health authorities promoted useless masks, harmful lockdowns, and deadly gene therapy injections instead.

LONG AGO I SAW THE SEA
by Michael Langston

Long ago I saw the sea;
I walked along its sunlit shore:
A distant, fading memory
I hold and cherish evermore.

I watched the sun go down in thee.
Its golden light upon thy waves
Still lights my heart and comforts me
Like lamplight shone in darkest caves.

But in my dream of perfect love
I’m not alone; she’s with me there.
Beneath the wispy clouds above
I hold her close and kiss her hair.

I see that sunset in her eyes,
Its golden light upon her face.
We sit beneath the star-filled skies;
Beside that sea…we long embrace.

Universal COVID lockdowns were a ludicrous and disastrous public health policy that caused more harm than the virus itself. Healthy young people were not at risk. The lockdowns served no worthwhile purpose. Only the sick and vulnerable needed protection.

LET ME STAY
by Michael Langston

We kissed and parted late last night;
I left and walked along my way.
Beneath the cold and dim street lights
I walked from where I’d wished to stay.

I reached the shadowed parking lot;
To my dismay my keys were gone!
There’s something there that I forgot.
I must return; I can’t go on.

When I got back, her door was locked
Just as I had sadly feared.
But I stood and gently knocked,
And in the doorway she appeared:

Not clad in jeans as she’d been before,
No modest, brightly lit up blouse:
A silken, moonlit gown she wore,
Though not intended to arouse.

Nonetheless my passion grew;
I took her back into my arms,
And such satin smoothness then I knew!
I had not the power to resist such charms.

So I asked if I could stay,
If she would take me to her bed,
But that night I slept…ten miles away.
“I can’t,” the angel softly said.

Coronavirus patients received improper medical treatments in most instances and were denied lifesaving treatments such as hydroxychloroquine. This was the reason for the high death toll in places like New York. Improper medical procedures killed millions.

IN MY BELOVED
by Michael Langston

I can see my God most clearly
In the most glorious of His creations…
I needn’t look to find Him
In religious congregations,

But through tears of joy and reverence,
As I look on my sweet lover,
I see too the God who made her…
And the God who made me love her.
