Zombie Amoebae

Anti-viral, selective shaped,
and thus, detection, these escaped.
Yet much oppressed, this teeming mass,
freely assembled, given pass.
Wearing virtue on their sleeve,
industry scarce, ‘cept when they grieve.
Lashing, trashing, loud and wild,
fatherless, a rash, spoiled child.

musing on I wandered lonely as the crowd by John Lawless
