Contagion


No roads opened & plunged all graphs,
Of ackers stood tall, went to dwarf;
As pandemic for ‘none but one’ armed,
Originated that from Wet Animal Farms.

Undirected tongues swirled unchecked,
Floors pooled in red of wilds & pets;
Who could not speak were boiled & cut,
Saw no mercy but the humans’ gut.

Was planned or not rose several thoughts,
There was no place to hide but caught;
One could not fly or sail or walk,
No wall impeded all calls were dropped.

What could be contained in rathe but snoozed,
And traversed lands & seas & cruised;
Won’t name it as its ‘ain’t’ the last,
What’s lost in past resuscitated in lands du hast
