The Virus

[Bry89]

I take away your pride
I take away your happiness
I take away your livelihoods
I make you live
In days of darkness

I take away your freedom
I take away your rights
I take away everything
Time to say goodbye
To normal life

I've shut down the country
I've shut down the economy
I've shut down your favourite places
Enjoy your new way of life
And reality

I make people angry and upset
I make all the children cry
I break apart marriages and friendships
Human love and emotion
Sacrificed

I generate the silence
I make people sink into despair
I play with the minds of the vulnerable
Fill them with fear
Deprive them of care

I have come without reason
I exist without intention
For how life has become now
Somehow I'm to blame
For all of its destruction

I am the sickness
I am your pain
I am your sorrow
I drive you insane

I get all that you're saying in this...and part of me screams to resist because acquiescing makes it feel like it has all the power...it doesn't.

Evil does NOT win in the end...no matter how many bloody battles it wages along the way.


Very well captured...relatable to the world. What more could a poet ask?
