The Virus

The lesser of two evils, do two wrongs make one right?
The bullets may have steel hulls, but it takes powder to ignite.

The elephant in the room, can't be seen.
It's a skeleton in the closet, for too long it has been.

So bite the bullet, let the cat out of the bag.
Kick the bucket, give the lake a drag.

From rags to riches, from pillar to post.
You left your duty, when it needed you most.

The lesser of two evils, do two wrongs make one right?
The bullets may have steel hulls, but it takes powder to ignite.

Fall on your sword, fall on your knees.
Accept the cure, you are the disease.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
