Polio Is Back In Town

Hoop-la! Hoop-la! Polio is back in town.
And it is sick of being silent
With all the other viruses around. 
It wants some humans to infect
To gain back some respect. 

Covid and monkeypox, you better watch out
Ebola, Marburg, Tuberculosis, and AIDS too.
Polio is nothing to scoff about
It will paralyse little children
and put you in an iron lung

Ebola Children

Ebola childreN

Sons and daughters of dead bodies
orphans to fading villages,
victims of hunger and malnutrition.
your skin peeling of your bones
limbs keep treading on soil filled dead glories
children of empty promises where graves await your deforming spirit.

children of ebola,sons and daughters of designed suffering
totems of early parenting,
culprits of stolen foods,victims of child trafficking.
servants of deaf GOD,a body

EBOLA
why should i care?
it comes out of nowhere
i am here, they are there,
suffering, kids, women, people, like me
but they are from a primitive society
where people know their neighbors, 
and it takes a village to raise a kid, whats up with that?
but EBOLA is evil, it ruins villages, people die, horriblyly
forget that. ive decided to help

Ebola
By Linda Hays-Gibbs
A horrible deathly disease has spread 
With terrible swiftness and silent dread
Our people with frantic astonishment seek
Why does our government seem so weak
Not only do they  expose our children to it
They won't give us a Czar that even knew it 
A man with no medical expertise
While our borders are open wide to

Both sexes and ages you destroy, to
Offer widows and inconsolable orphans;
Lamentation and mourning to my motherland

but ebola caught me with my pants down, you know, the death, the death and the plastic clothes...the one hundred and

A River Called Ebola

Thathud, boom boom boom 
Thathud, boom boom boom
I listen
As drums beat in Africa
Voices rise above the pounding
Mourning 
Crying out for their lost
For their feverish
Helpless people dying one loving touch at a time
Ebola, your tears bring destruction
You methodically  make your way to the city
The river from which you flow is cursed
A stream of blood gushes

Doctors Moe, Larry and Curly Fight Ebola

By Elton Camp

Of Ebola, sensible persons are scared
There was time in the US to be prepared

For decades the virus has been known
How to control has clearly been shown

Working in a crude Liberian tent
Doctors are found reasonably content

When, to safety, strict attention is paid
Ebola virus disease is rarely conveyed

Growing numbers in Africa dead
Showed Ebola continued to

An Ebola Haiku

Ebola Haiku

They were in command
And should haven taken a stand
Not put heads in sand.

Seems simple to me
For better someone to be
Strings attached cut free.

Where is place to park?
Wondered around in the dark
Learned place on a lark.

Can be contagious 
Which to me is outrageous
Said all the sages.

Should we only wait
Not be late and educate
Then start a

Ebola 1

Everyone needs to be conscious to stay safe or alive
Because Ebola(named after a river)virus ravages with a mission to kill,
Often hand washing with soap or  alcohol burns like grill,
Loss of appetite,vomiting,diarrhoea,sore throat,fever are imminent.
Animal vectors like bats should not be consumed which is very pertinent.

The Horror of Ebola Virus Disease

By Elton Camp

She was weak from vomiting and diarrhea
Blood ran from her gums onto her teeth

Her husband and sons had died horribly
Only she and daughter Anne remained

The whimpering child clutched her mother
Soon, there was no longer any response

Anne ran to the neighboring metal shack
“Help me!  I think mother is dead too.”

“Get away!” the family

An Ebola Victim Visits the Hospital

By Elton Camp

Katsu barely made it through the door
Where he collapsed onto the floor

The receptionist didn’t leave any doubt
“For help, these paper first fill out!”

“So, up from there and get going.
How you’ll pay, we must be knowing.”

“But Liberia is where I have been.
I’m about to throw up yet again!”

“Too bad, but you will be just

King Ebola

My son he now rules our land.
A great tyrant for a king.
He has made his decrees known;

shake hands with no the other 
Lest he grabs and sentences you to death.
this my fathers' fathers' fathers and I did without fear.

Yes we love the dead, 
Respect the dead,
Care for the dead 
and leave living men suffering.
