The Prediction Ignored

The fear and the terror,
In the eyes of the people,
who witnessed something,
Very rarely seen.
I look and see the shock,
Of utter unbelievability.
Why are we witnessing,
an evil that has been,
Repeated several times,
in the last thousand years.
The sad part it was predicted
and everyone ignored it.
Thousands have died since. 
So is your interpretation War vs. Disease?
One man alone predicted everything.
As they say history has an 
idea of repeating itself.
So why did we not listen
to the warning?
