Ebola, coming from the Continent of our roots
The WHO is exhausted by your contagion
Nurses are leaving their posts, doctors are dying
What can contain exponential growth?
Not the money and debts of this bankrupt America
We print more money and expect
The world to stay the same, but it won’t
Not after you Ebola, a profit mechanism
Vaccines, for each strain and mutation?
Ebola, your incubation period is too long
Your death-conformity is too high
How can you possibly be natural?
Man-made, racially biased, targeting
The weak, the poor, the masses
Ebola, a colonial rampage in your DNA
I call your bluff, genocide, Genocide!
Obama doesn’t mind Ebola, flights stay open
New epicenters for outbreaks arrive
The pundits say it’s already too late
Fluids or air-droplets, both, who is to say?
The CDC seems strangely apathetic
The UN is oddly apologetic
Ebola, are you ready to decimate
The white man, as you have the black?
Exactly. Great poem.
Thanks Dara, we live in interesting times.
Deep, thank you for these powerful yet poetic words.
Well this was my daily rant of social commentary I guess, no great sense of poetry in it I’m afraid hehe
O so sadly true!
Definitely.
this is so deep and hard to understand it!
The Ebola outbreak is terrible, I’ve been following it, the droplet theory is tragic – one sneeze in a room, and a whole multitude of people can be affected! I really wish wordpress would have a separate “like” button, I hate liking posts that resonate with me, but “like” seems so inappropriate!
Poignant and powerful.
Wow. You’re my hero for writing this no lie.
Well with exponential growth comes cases in most of the world’s major cities, you have to be a bit dumb not to see that right…
Meant it more on the global humanity scale than anything else. Things like this amaze me, speaking out against wrong doesn’t need to have limits or bounds. Keep spreading that awareness man, bravo.
