Frontline Soldier

What portends this ill wind blowing which inhaled robs man’s breath whose virus defiles the proximal space people share? Is it the greed of man who has defied rules of the holy book And defiled Leviticus by partaking as food that which was forbidden. Or is it a Lab gone wrong? Come hither all you medicine men and astronomers Lend us your binoculars and see whereof this vile virus was bred From whose progeny is infused this gene with airborne venom That we may blunt her sword covid-19 and stop this genocide. I will defend the world with blood and sacrifice, my hippocratic oath my shield will suffice. I will stare this monster in the face even as my fellow soldiers die for with sharpened ammunition our labs provide, the end is nigh And tomorrow, yes tomorrow together we will rejoice in tears In happiness and sadness of our beloved lost and a battle won As nations will with one voice shout, Ahoy frontline soldiers, Ahoy!
