Poem: Our world has changed

Dear Editor,

Our world has changed

Like never before and it’s so sad

Every day because our lives have changed

So much in life today and so many families suffering

Like never before and this killer virus is here to stay

And we where all caught and unaware and it’s sadness

In the air and Isolated from our loved ones every day

And there’s no happiness or joy in our lives today

It’s just another loved one who’s sadly passed away

And coronavirus walks among us every day

And we try our best to struggle through

This horrible coronavirus storm

Trying to stay safe and keep ourselves warm

And the pain and hurt it’s brought us and

There’s nothing much to gain and our

Peace and love has all gone away

And it’s just a lonely tear rolling down my face and I’ve been

Crying inside this cold lonely old place

And all the pain running though me every day

Coronavirus coronavirus when will you ever

Just go away and I cry for the loved ones who sadly

Passed away and I’m still cocooning away and

Every day and I’m lost without you in my life and

The world has changed so much

Coronavirus every day in our life

And the darkness surrounds the world today

And it’s so cold and painful every day and

I feel the chill up and down my spine every day

And our warm hugs and soft kisses

Have just all faded away and

Just like our loved ones fading away

And nobody to hold at night

And nobody to whisper I love you goodnight

And as a lonely tear rolls down my face

I try to smile and remember your beautiful face

As coronavirus has slowly taken you away

But I promise you all I’ll love

And pray for everyone

Who’s been suffering from coronavirus

Every day.

David P. Carroll,

Rutland

Vote Radonis for state rep

September 18, 2024
Dear Editor, I’m writing to support of Steve Radonis’s bid for Windsor’s 5th district state rep. And as a 74-year-old Connecticut resident and life-long (so far!) registered Democrat, that’s pretty much all I can do because out-of-state homeowners in Vermont cannot vote in local elections, one of a few issues on which Radonis and I…

Dear Editor, In his Aug. 28, 2024, Mountain Times letter “Response to Republican choice,” Mr. George de Luna states rather oddly that “Most of his [Trump’s] ‘lies’ are exaggerations but are in the same direction of the truth.”  Actual journalists disagree.  In their Jan. 24, 2021, Washington Post article “Trump’s false or misleading claims total…
