Somewhere
in the East Heard
a strange disease, Indisposed
men, women and children In
numbers never heard. All
began in a megacity People
cautious and many feared. But
plagues have come and gone. This
too would end, the optimist prophesied. The
disease soon spread There
was fear everywhere Nothing
will prevent and nothing will cure, Affirmed
doomsayers. The
rich, the poor, the urban, the rural The
developed, the underdeveloped The
privileged and not so privileged All
wait with bated breath. From
East to West, North to South Europe
and the Americas and Asia The
pandemic spread like an octopus, Tentacles
greedy to grasp. Or
is it to purge the world Of
all its sins, Selfishness
and complexes And
make it a better place to live.
