Bacteria and Viruses Feed On Our Foolishness

Indecision and weakness, selfishness and recklessness Invade our personalities and sap from our souls stamina When fleas, lice and bedbugs feed on our foolishness Panel beating us flat and horizontal into the lamina Mosquitoes, leeches, bacteria, plasmodia and viruses our bodies incapacitate Leaving our mangy bodies vulnerable As though we inadvertently chose to precipitate Crises and conundrums that disable Our broken bodies Blowing them first left next right When high energy eddies Steal and peel our birthright When fellow sinners despite their burdens Join us in solidarity As we fumble, grumble and stumble in the sorrow gardens Where hypocrites look down on the majority Communicate without speaking Wincing at the sorrows they wish they knew Quitting from burdens of life and quaking Would render us inferior to the shrew Who despite her smaller size put up a brave show To grant us comfort and support As we dodge the low blow Fate strikes in a determined effort us from life to export and deport.
