Best Epidemic Poems
There sneaked a micro organism into the lives of human kind from elsewhere,
Who made it intruded is still a mystery, yet it’s fate of the world
That life on earth is engulfed with thorns and bruises?
They say: It’s from bats, some say: it’s a shoot of ‘Bio-war’,
No doubt it’s a sinister game and human lives are the ball, hit and shot,
Thousands of goals have been dropped and there was no cry of joy,
But ‘cross the world there hath been flow of tears and fears.
The human lives, tainted with creepy killer organism, seek shields of defense,
And there around the Round Table Conference clicked a thought of ‘Social distancing’.
Provinces and states raised the alarm of crisis to avert throngs and mobs,
It hath been a portent for the imminent disaster on the face of earth,
A ‘day of shut’ hath been imposed on the lives as precaution –
No politics, no religion, no caste, no race and ego shall be the law,
For the blood is the same red with tissues and organs for all.
The day began with the legal menace ‘cross the country,
And the wheels and bags were restricted screech and rustle,
The rich and the poor entered their ‘house bags’,
And there seen empty roads and streets except faint travelers.
Round the clock people’s saviours were seen sweeping and spraying sterile medicine,
Life-saving doctors and nurses were seen in spring-up action,
And those infected folks were brought under the treatment of the life-savers.
Behind the legitimate bars of seclusion from the pandemic infection,
There was seen a life of silence for a noble cause,
It was not a total inactivity, but a self introspection of social distancing -
A pledge to chase the epidemic killer virus away from human kind!
Media of service ran thro’ hazards and perils brought into rooms the day’s tasks.
It was a joint fight against COVID -19 beyond human restrictions,
And each of us shall be a victor ‘gainst the epidemic violence.
What if..
What if; it wasn't a lockdown forenoon
Mommies whisking to kitchenette
Daddy's out with newspaper headlines
Little cubs denned in their late quilt and wishing no schooling today
Rest world racing themselves to indulge in work deadlines
What if; it wasn't a lockdown noon
Chefs busy preparing victuals to serve in eateries
Office canteens loaded with lunch boxes and gossips
Some heading for evening tales
What if; it wasn't a lockdown evening
Coffee shops buzzing with bud pairs, roasted coffee beans and whiffs of smoke
Peeps roaming and returning their abodes before the dark was deep
Little cubs falling asleep in their study and no Surf, no Netflix
What if; it wasn't a lockdown night
Dinner table would filled with traffic and homework folklore
Bedtime would doubly the fairy's list-
Children wishing for no school tomorrow,
Men for hike up his business,
Women emancipation from irons of household chores and society norms
What if; it wasn't a lockdown
Contemporary would have been so lost in it's own bloods and veins
June month would have brought us fruity summer of 2020
And I would have written a poetry of love and lust
It began with a hit
Problems were solved
Then you couldn't get lit
And addiction evolved
Your body craved more
The smoke couldn't handle
Now covered in sores
Too common a scandal
You recall the time
Needles were bad
But now, every nine
They soften your sad
Mascara smothers
droopy eyes
Whispers from others
Ignite your cries
Wrapping your sleeves
Around your hands
Joining thieves
For what your body demands
You have nothing to trade
But the flesh you wear
Others get laid
To take you there
Your home is a dump
Filled with useless junk
You're in a funk
So you get your fix
Ready for kicks
A different mix
You see the light
Your body relaxed
But then lose sight
A bad batch
A drop of blood
Joined with a tear
The addicts crud
Your end is here
But what you don't see
Or perhaps never saw
Friends and family
Anticipated your fall
Sleepless nights
Anxious days
Agonizing fright
Throughout your phase
Now they find you
A lifeless shell
You may be through
But their in hell
I'm now in the 3rd chapter of the Relationship Epidemic as I focus on the role of the female
They say one man's trash is another man's treasure, so my girl is my seashell
Since before time, women were loyal before a man is
The backbone of a family, hello, they give birth to the kids
They rarely get lazy
Unlike men who complain about labor pains, but can't show you the baby
Being deprived of attention is what a woman can't stand
If you can't keep up, they grab another dude by the hand
Females left and right can be lovable
As well as gullible
Giving, receiving, and at times also
Deceiving
"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" saying is so true
Bite her first she'll bite back twice as hard shame on you
If there's one thing they hate
Is never being on a date
Never comfortable with a nice night in the house
Because they feel trapped like a mouse
That's what I see with girls that are younger
More likely to look for love in the wrong places to satisfy that hunger
When they get cheated on
Or beaten on
They can't trust a male so they turn lesbian or bisexual
Love/sex life is more perpetual
That vision can be perplexible
However it makes life more flexible
It's easy to understand why they want the finer things in life
After all who doesn't, it cuts like a knife
They value commitment, its extensive
We all know women are sensitive
All of that serotonin in the brain
Mistrust on her heart, what soap will wipe off that stain
Mothers, sisters, wives bring some of the pain
Aunts, girlfriends, grandmothers turn snow into rain
A female will never love you in vain
They crave attention, if they don't get it they feel shame
Cheat on a guy and say they're the one to blame
Messed up right?
Do the Right Thing like Spike Lee
No, that's ok girls rather be sneaky
Coretta Scott King, she's so royal
Even after Dr. King got shot, she stayed loyal
Asked my girl if I died, will she get over me
She said not so quick
Replace me? Who will?
That's a different pick
But that's neither here nor there
Good and bad females everywhere
Love attracts girls like plants and meat attracts bears
They can be a man's best friend
To the end
As well as nightmare
Break a woman's heart if you dare
There seems to be an epidemic spreading more and more each day
Although it's not contagious people are dying anyway
It's not heart disease or cancer, Alzheimers or even dope
This disease is caused from thinking there is no hope
The thing I am referring to causes one to believe
That no one cares about them and it makes them grieve
When they feel life has no meaning and nothing can be done
They may take an overdose or go out and get a gun
Then their friends and loved ones deal with grief of their own
And if they don't ask for help they too may soon be gone
Lord help us to pay attention and always be alert
Fill us with compassion for those who really hurt
Though we may not be able to fully understand
Let us just be willing to lend a helping hand
Corona is grabbing the headlines
Threatening like receding hairline
Attacks the lungs and spreads like a pandemic
Hijacks the cells and multiplies like an epidemic
He is called the "invisible enemy"
Keeping mankind in search for remedy
Let’s be on alert, sanitize your hands
Spread this information to all lands
Many infected people gasping for breath
Thousands being swept away by death
We're in perilous times, an age of lonesome fear
We need to repent, because His coming is near
No matter how many hearts are grieving
Everyone needs to keep on believing
There is HOPE that you may understand
Almighty God is the custodian of the land
Corona is a sign of an impending warning
Looks scary and many hearts are waning
Trust me, one day beneath the moon
The King in his glory comes soon
A NATIONAL EPIDEMIC
If you saw those lusty nasty faces, you see it engraved in their hearts,
Even those trusted public officers, no longer bother to weed the vice,
They plant the evil, water it in every season, they have become infectious,
It has become contagious, even to the minds of the unborn,
It sprouts in plenty over the land, darkening the future of the nation.
The law officers lead the lane, in screwing and churning the law,
They shamelessly spit out justice and trample over it with their feet,
It has taken root in the state, over ages, helpless patriots feed the pigs,
Public servants are not excluded victims, the virus runs in their veins,
They love the flesh of the poor, they are their easy prey.
Ministers of state have made it their game, they hit headlines each day,
Its stench stinks in their cloaks, it shouts wherever they are,
The corrupt hungry veiled wolves, that now bite even in the day,
With ever thirst throats, heartlessly sucking the helpless patriots,
Betraying the sacrifice of taxpayers and trampling over national dignity.
It has taken root in the land, it no longer shocks to hear of it,
Funds embezzled, funds misused, dummy projects or enormous allowances,
Have made the common news of the day, it shocks if they lack,
The sober stand and watch helpless, with empty lonely ecstasy,
The epidemic is rampant in the nation, and victims run away from the cure!
As I pick up where I left off from the Intro
I bring you the Outlook as I peer through relationships like a window
The chance of seeing real love is narrow
It seems Cupid doesn't know where to aim his arrow
Cupid my Cupid
How could you be so stupid
The way girls treat boys
Like toys
The way boys treat girls
Like squirrels
Got them going nuts
Teens and adolescence in love?
You must be nuts
Ages 13-19 is filled with lust
Their conscience still underveloped
They don't know who to trust
20s-30s
That age group can slide
Because at some point they have a hunch about what they want inside
That's the flagship age to get married
Couple says vows
Bride gets carried
These days it seems no one wants to be single
Once you pop you can't stop
Sex is like Pringles
I guess it's ok
As long as its safe
If you're in love with your partner don't let the feelings be fake
Children wait until you're older to get under those covers
And if your hormones rage out of control shake hands with a rubber (condom)
Most teen girls hate the feeling of latex
Then goo goo ga ga
The babies are born next
I'm just calling it how I see
Relationship game is dirty so I'll be the referee
All of a sudden the world is in love
My God it's sickening
As i write this my pulse is quickening
Now now some couples really do love
Til Death Do They Part
To the world above
I just think the word "love" is greatly misused
The Constitution of Love
So often abused
Our society thinks it's amusing
Fifteen year old in love?
Doesn't it sound confusing
Maybe it don't to you
But it does to me
They are wasting emotions
Unrenewable energy
It's a shame
Love is no game
It's more like a lion
Waiting to be tame
From what I observed couples aren't the same
Whether the pair is nameless
Or enshrouded with fame
Real love is too far up
Way above our aim
I'm in my right mind
I'm definetly sane
That's why everyone is hurting
Because love is pain
I'm still researching
My mind is my reference book
Ch. 2 of the Relationship Epidemic
The Outlook
Ch. 3 (Females) Coming Soon...
Your smile's contagious
You brighten the entire world
with those two dimples
6/27/15
You come like a thief in the night
Unwelcome and Unbidden
You come unknown
Mysterious like the dark side of the moon
You have not revealed yourself to us
Your stay is disheartening
Your ripple effect causes a pandemonium world wide
You could have chosen to be a friendly visitor
But rather you chose to be cruel
Our nations fall at your mercy
Our households quiver at the mere thought of your arrival at their door
You have an insatiable hunger for any warm body
If only you could have been a picky devourer
Only salivating for us the ones who have lived long enough to welcome our demise
If that means our young ones are guaranteed to see another day
For as long as your identity remains unveiled
Our hearts will know no peace
We only ask you to show us mercy
Even if it is in the slightest brief
Do you know what you’re inspiring?
Awakening a dormant soul,
to witness this is so exhilarating;
Epidemic of peace transpiring
built stronger by a single goal;
Do you know what you’re inspiring?
A new world just starts opening
with the collapse of a stone wall;
To witness this is so exhilarating;
Just a nudge and it starts growing
a contagion out of control;
Do you know what you’re inspiring?
That it was quiet? So appalling;
Transformation’s worth the gamble;
To witness this is so exhilarating;
A star’s birth so captivating,
this broken smile has become whole;
Do you know what you’re inspiring?
To witness this is so exhilarating.
There is an epidemic among the masses that is driving me insane!
It's known as diarrhea of the mouth with constipation of the brain.
Relationships these days are infections
A lethal dose of a particular association or connection
Lust attacks the heart while sex immerses the mind
Lost on the path to marriage because true love is hard to find
A relationship has pros and cons
So many broken bonds
Couples try to respawn
But instead a break up responds
People don't know the difference between love and IN LOVE
Love is supposed to be to heart as hand is to glove
The glove covers the hand
The IN LOVE feeling covers the heart
Relationships these days rarely paint pictures
True forms of art
The epidemic is getting worse
From human to horse
But not all relationships are bad
Not all are sad
However not all are good
As well as glad
Don't know what relationship means look it up
Discover the history of the "hook up"
Dates, phone calls, sex
Then what's next
Cheating
Beating
Break ups
Make ups
Bring it full circle
Like the glasses on Urkle
The boy named Steve
Since Genesis with Adam and Eve
This feeling is more than an epidemic
More like a pandemic
Causing emotional pandemonium
Elderly fear of sodium
Younger generation
Moving quick no hesitation
To make relations instead of relationships
Trying to be grown
Time sure has flown
So I write this poem
To cure the epidemic in our home
This new virus is a party,
A party island wide.
From town to town, quarantine.
Come in,
You won't miss the luxury you had abroad,
It's complete with food to make your mouth water.
This new virus is a party,
It's complete with free wi-fi.
Forget your burning fever,
You're being well cared for,
Complete with your favourite TV channel.
Come in,
If you do, you'll feel richer than a king,
It's complete with staff waiting on your every need.
This new virus is a party,
It's complete with free wifi.
I don't know why you ever leave,
But I guess you felt sorry for us,
So did you come to bring us this party?
Come in,
You can dance all night in a cocoon of a room,
Free of others weird glances and jesting laughs,
This new virus is a party,
A party island wide.
From town to town, quarantine.
* I simply wish those idiots who run away from quarantine to find their brains and get themselves cured at least, if they don't think of others. I'm sorry to give such a picture about Srilankans, but this is purely what I feel.
THE FAIR ELAINE
My mother had an uncle, Hayes,
Who loved the banker's child
Hayes was just a dray man
It made the banker wild
When Hayes proposed to fair Elaine
He asked for her sweet hand
Her father said that he’d agree
If Hayes could buy some land.
So off Hayes went
To make his stake
He traveled night and day
Until he found a growing town
He knew he had to stay
he drove his mule team
train to train
delivered tons of goods
and every day he wrote to her
he’d promised that he would
and once a week he mailed the pack
he sent his seven letters
she saved them all
so comforted that
times were getting better
and in two years
Hayes had the cash
To marry fair Elaine
He hitched his mules
To go for her
And traveled ‘cross the plain
And when he came up to her house
Black wreathes were on her door
He knocked and found his fair Elaine
Was on this earth no more
Hayes went home in sorrow
Took a shotgun from the shelf
He shot his pair of finest mules
And then he shot himself
