Virus From Hell Smiles

the Virus from Hell is amused

the Virus from Hell is amused
laughing at the world’s panicked reaction
as it marches through the world unabated

infecting everyone in its wake
as the world awaits its fate
the virus smiles he ain’t no fake
he is the real deal 

he is death itself
he is the end of the world
the grim reaper is smiling
god is silent as usual

and the virus is the world’s worst nightmare
the world’s leaders dither and dather
as the economy craters 
everyone hoping that God will save them

the virus does not care
insults and orders do not work
the virus simply does its virus thing

infecting everyone it encounters
and thousands will die
equal opportunity offender
killing the rich and the poor alike

the virus smiles 
the virus's work is done
and mankind is doomed
so be it the virus thinks

that is the way of the world
and the virus is the new king
of the world
