The Outburst

Slowly but steadily it came Like a thief in the night, it gently crept in Owing to her ignorance It found it way through the loophole It came while she yet slumber She claimed to be prepared yet, So unprepared was she. This was her loophole 'Oh my' she exclaimed 'How could I be so careless?' she'd asked herself She was aghast at the whole incident Villainy is taking over morality Carefully, it has set its jurisdiction Placing officials in different regions It has rubbed her face with red earth Like a masquerade going out for a ceremony Some of her children are now on a journey A great journey of no return Many are being held captives in their home They have been sequestered from her She is now in a state of devastation 'Well, this has come to pass' she said The others need to be protected So, she preaches this message: 'Sanitize Yourself! Ebola is real'
