Facets of a Virus

This virus is many things:
an invisible asp playing hide-and-seek
a genie riding the wind with great ease
a magician emptying streets of loco sapiens.
Replacing them with wild-wild things.
A comedian turning senior citizens
into bandits, gangsters and thieves.  
A political scythe slicing opposition necks.
This virus is the billow of the hearth of hell
coaxing verse from seeds of death
without precedence or prejudice.
Treating everybody equally.
Like a mini- Martin Luther King.
