History Repeats

Hehehe
we’re up and about
we’ve been asleep for a while
but we‘re here, we’re here
you think you’re safe
but your not, your not
We are always in the air
even in the sea and land
we might be small 
but we packed a punch

You think those animals are clean
you eat without care
Yet when you are sick
you blame the animals
its you, it’s you
it’s your own fault

those diseases, 
those epidemics,
the ones that come, from different places
China, England, and Africa 
are just a few to name

Human beings, human beings
when it happens to them
they are worried
before it happened
they don’t care, don’t care
these are all your fault 
What is going on with people nowadays
don’t they learn from their past
from the black death to the corona virus
history does repeat itself
Be wary be wary
keep being hygienic 
take care of animals
don’t eat clearly like a mad man

Be cool be cool 
be safe.

We never seem to learn. Our mistakes are cyclical. An honest write.
