Pandemic

Palpable fear permeates the air,
Anxiety rules the hearts of men.
Novel disease brings death and despair.
Demands exceed supply, - no plan!
Endless accusations - who's to blame?
Mandatory curfews and lock downs,
Innate rebellion, frustration - this is no game!
Conspiracy theories abound - must pray for a cure to be found.

An acrostic worthily done. All the world is suffering but countries still play at war. Well done.
