Friend of None

Viruses, the old, the new What’s next? God only knows Each new one that makes its debut Will put on quite a show And the people are distracted As the virus takes its toll Too bad for the weak hearted A threat for any soul And when it keeps on lingering The fearless start to scoff They’re done with all that hiding They’ve simply had enough And as they dare to look the virus Straight into the eyes Now watch how this pretentious lot Soon shrivels up and dies It’s so you now, the rules are clear Ignore them if you dare The virus is a friend of none So no one it will spare All viruses, the old, the new Have all now claimed their place They rule, destroy, they terrorize And set the world ablaze.
