Glorious Sweden

Glorious Sweden

When the virus struck the virologist 
put their faith in herd immunity six thousand 
people died mostly those over sixty which
is a high number for a small country.
Sweden has been able to stabilize the number
of affected people but the virus is still there
regrouping ready to strike again,
This time it will target the younger generation 
will fall victim of this deadly disease now 
when winter comes, and nightclubs are 
an alluring place.
The virologists have failed to see this virus 
is not your common flu, that also is here to stay,
but we have a vaccine for this.
Now that all the elderly are dead we can say
Sweden is a young country but, alas, not a better one.
What do I know, perhaps this was intentional.
