Samantha Farley Poet I do not know?

Grave Digger

The neverending torrent of bodies
The people whose relatives passed
The piles and piles of bodybags
That only recently amassed

‘Tis my job as a grave digger
To hide them away in the ground
To keep them from the people
Since they spread the virus around

This young and just made graveyard
Is already getting quite full
I take my shovel for digging
And dig another hole

Richard Lamoureux January 14, 2015 at 9:12 AM I would think you are referring to the Ebola outbreak. Samantha Farley January 15, 2015 at 8:24 AM Good job! You are correct!
