Contagion

We had
A chance to unite and fight
The virus.

Isolate and investigate,
Until ready to vaccinate,
Our shield against advancing attack.

Yet shadows and doubt
Invaded impatient minds
Binding division across the land.

Warnings ignored
With careless greed
Encouraged our unseen enemy to breed.

And now, in our current
War of the World
Hubris allows mutations to swell.

Lamenting our sins
Failing what could have been
An untreated virus continues to win.
