Blight of Hate

Sparing none,
It spread far and wide,
Embracing its victims with a death's grip
An ominous cloud traveling worldwide
Gathering force for it was not yet done

Finding no cure,
Black pools of infection drown cells,
No immune system could wage it's contagion
Dark days to seek a God wherever He dwells
For its past an epidemic threshold no one can endure

Agonizing uncertainty,
Suspicious thought of who is next,
We mourn as our comrades succumb to the scourge
Echo of anguish as we are sucked into the vortex
Waiting in terror grasping to a life without guarantee

It ravages on,
A pandemic pandemonium,
A plague rivaling the black death
Moribund,we implore love to remedy this bacterium
As cancerous hate threatens to efface the light of dawn

Fantastic verse! So well done. It's a shame there are so many reads and no comments. Crude and mightily rude. I read plenty of no brainer Poetry here that is drooled over. Yours is deep And intelligent. I tell you, you are one of the best here. I apologize for all who did not. You deserve recognition, really, Someone had to say this! Panagiota xo
