Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Notice From Management

 

Due to UK government restrictions

on gatherings of more than two people

Write Out Loud has been cancelled

If you are a poet

YOU have also been cancelled

Please check back later to see if

you still exist

as it turns out Corona Virus

can even be transmitted through the internet

so in due diligence

we have taken down all blogs and postings

in order to protect ourselves

from infected poets

from now on poets will be required to

thoroughly clean themselves before submitting poems

and all poems must be sanitized

and written with gloves and mask

but stay busy and continue to write

someday the government will allow us to move about

like free citizens again

and you can start posting poems

as long as they are certified as decontaminated

and you have a note from your mother

saying your poems are safe for consumption

in the meantime, stay well

but don't touch anybody.

Ha - this touched me! Uncomfortable, but how far off the truth as
things stand? I see Bill Gates is calling for "global" co-ordination
to combat this particular virus. The logic of what he refers to as the likelihood of returning infection is hard to refute but no mention of
using a majority of his vast wealth. I imagine there are others from
privileged financial positions who endorse his view - but let's wait for
financial input from their mega-riches (check the percentages of who has what in the world) to back up the fine words. They are the
arch-beneficiaries of capitalism so they are honour-bound to act to
preserve it. Isn't that logical too?
