Best Contagion Poems

While it feels in the noontide, just steps through the trees,
As the sky bleeds to twilight – the sweetest disease.
On a walk through the maples, an itch of romance, 
As a warm breeze courts Eros at gloaming's advance.

Just a glance woos the shivers, through come...

Torture’s Toxic Contagion
                  by Odin Roark

From where comes these perpetrators,
These conscienceless mortals
Whose senses are quashed by orders,
By fear of demotion,
By allegiance to evil?

Who demands the allegiance
To insulated Washington...

Smile
that dance with your lips
whether luscious or pin-stripe thing
glimmering like rubies or scales glazed by sunshine

smile
that dance on perched puffy cheeks
whether skin of cocoa freckles or roses

smile
this dance is the universal contagion
whether all thirty-two Chiclets of pearl
or bare gums

smile
that dance in your eyes
they're gemstones that...

People are hurrying, scurrying, worrying
Frenziedly squirreling clusters away.
Rumbling hypotheses riding on every breeze
Cast a malificent shadow our way.

Spreading pervasively, sneakily, rapidly,
Spanning the continents, changing its tack,
Causing uncertainty, splitting humanity
Interdependency starting to crack.

Tension is rising, it's hardly surprising that
Feverish tremors disquiet the land
Something's approaching, invading, encroaching,
An...

A Contagion is spreading, a virus older then the plague.
It kills much slower then Ebola; nowadays.

Not everyone can catch it but it will kill us all.
There is no cure for this virus, we must quarantine all involved.

The basic Symptoms are:

Insatiable lust and want, narrow vision,Irritability,Hypocrisy,Single...

the chambers of Auschwitz are never far away

ashes do not disperse genocide that easily

cracked skulls in Rwanda don’t break away

from bone master’s lost conscience

agent orange is not yet whiter than white

Saigon holds more memories than a musical

killing fields in Cambodia famine in the Yemen

If you had told me in 2011 that the Steven Soderbergh movie, 
"Contagion," would one day play out in real life, I would've probably 
laughed at you. It seemed like Hollywood fiction nine years ago. 
Today, "Contagion" is literally playing out in real life!

Some suffering does not aspire to the Buddha’s kind

When the pound shop closes which is an ominous sign

Thanks God the jewellers continue to open their doors

Angry unwashed masses are difficult enough to restrain

But the bored wealthy masters might spark a revolution

If their well-deserved tastes were...

C-ontain contagion of poison, 
R-epel rabidity of virus; 
I-solate the positive person, 
S-top the threat so serious.
T-ry to contain contagion
I-n each and every country; 
N-eatly bring it to oblivion, 
E-liminate the mystery: 

J-ust contain contagion
O-f the monster's morbidity; 
Y-ou should control the infection, 
C-areful steps...

Oh, that my love were

me, as I do you.

Ahh-choo!...

Causative agent of disease
One of several variants to appease
Void of any discriminating abstractions
Interaction breeds human contagion
Distress inflamed in us by slow vaccination

Vaccine does diminish Covid effects
Antigen activity does reject
Chills that instill fear among us
Coughs that grip lungs, with expulsion dubious
Immunizations, please make haste
Never ending cautions...
