The Heroes

I am virus
& my enemy aims to destroy-
all of us.

My enemy wears white coat
To save lives, their own comfort & life they devote.
To kill, I search for host-
while my enemy aims to save the most.

My other enemy wears uniform
To save lives, courageous action they perform.
To kill, I try to reach all borders,
while my enemy works hard to maintain orders.

My friend likes to break rules
To kill, I make them my tools.
My friend likes to hide, 
Without realizing that is how I reach far & wide.

The heroes of this story-
are my enemies.
And in this battle, heroes have all the glory.
They are the front liners that the world sees.
I am virus- the monster
Heroes of my story are- the Police & the Doctor.
