B Cuz I Can
Before Corona, HIV ‘n Hepatitis B
caroused with a death scare - intrinsic
Under sheets, a plausible viral milieu
zip-zapped the pompous macho buzz
Influenza strains cheered o’er a din of garrulous ‘I’s
carrying on, toasting a jaded Earth toxic,
awakening the grim grinning gestalt of Gaia!
New lessons and poignant liaisons must begin…
Because she’ll play with ‘us’ again and again
Coz, she’ll just laugh us out with a louder gist
CAUSE, is germane to ‘our’ best treatment
Because ‘we’ can stop all her mistreatment.
