It's Catching

No one will admit it but
Everybody does it
Some incessantly
Other occasionally
It is inherent in humanity 

Contagious opining
Contagious hypocrisy
Contagious bellicosity
Contagious idiocy

We all feel it

Contagious drudgery
Contagious fear
Contagious indifference
Contagious insensitivity
Contagious disregard for humanity

We all assume it

Contagious corruption
Contagious grasping
Contagious thievery
Contagious fiddling

We all indulge in it

Contagious surfing
Contagious tweeting
Contagious uploading
Contagious networking
Contagious befriending

We like it

Contagious rhapsody
Contagious laughter
Contagious charity
Contagious loving
Contagious honesty

We sometimes don’t acknowledge it

Contagious despondency
Contagious flam
Contagious amnesia
Contagious ignorance
Contagious psychoses
Contagious misunderstanding

We are all in this together aren’t we?
