For years I have heard the word pathogen
Medical people throw this word around
as if we lay people will understand it.
I think I first heard it when I heard Covid.
I finally looked up the word pathogen today.
It is a bacteria that causes disease.
As soon as I read this, everything else fell into place
and finally made sense.

fractured; the angry march
to I’s nexus
red, not gold, tracks.. wired to
perfect black
catastrophic chiroptera
see this cornucopia -
what plenty?

If nobody knew me.
I could varnish to the thin air.
Dine withe the unfair.
displine the cute ,uphold the ugly
And
Walk in you like oxygen
I could smile to those who care.
And be helpful like pathogen.
If..
If no one knew me.
I could breeze to the deepest ocean.
And
Bath in your soul.
Could denounce demons clean.
Could be a phenomenal idol.
If.
If no one knew me.
Could change like day to day.
An amicus of dare
And
Tell fiction.
That defeats friction
If nobody knew me.
I could dance naked.
In a million micro second
Could be ordained marry ,and de-marry..
Could not hurry
For time could be me.
If no one knew me
I could use my unconscious mind.
To make the rude kind.
Magnify the blind
Preach from behind.
If...
If no one knew me.
I could be me.
Like a spirit.
I could be you.

Cars were humming
People were bustling around
These things happened
All year round.
We lived in blissful ignorance
Of the deadly pathogen
But when it roared to life
'twas chaos all around.
The world shut down
No one moved around anymore
Except for one pathogen
You guessed it right - Covid-19.
While we were in our houses
Cowering in fear
This malicious spirit prowled the land
Covered the sky, spread in the sea.
It travelled around the world with glee
Now, normal our life was not to be.
Somehow, it found many of us
Dug into our skin
Didn't spare our mind
Nor our life.
It is unwilling to end this strife
It is unwilling to give us respite
It wants the whole world to itself
Which shows us its selfish self.
But it is evil and we are good
We can do anything if we are in the mood
So a vaccine will be knocking soon
With a smile as bright as the shining moon.
