At the behest of a virus
A vaccine suffered a sudden summons
Summoned to arrest a ravaging virus
Damn its rude interruption
As a virus journeyed from Mainland Wuhan
Through the land of the Notre Dame
To the Spaniards and their Catalan
Into Uncle Sam’s English Queensland
Into the Madiba Mandela Coloured Land
Into the dreamlands
…of New York City, and Washington DC
So a vaccine laboured in the laboratories
From the Kremlin to the Knesset
From the Bundestag to the Senate
From the tiny Archipelago to the lengthy Indian Ocean
As a virus hurried on a global trot
To allot each a slot of the viral waves
To wave from a first to a second slot
To strain from an old to a new variant
So a vaccine rallied for a global shot
As a virus knocked
But waited not for permission
As a virus entered
And announced its influen(za)tial mission
As a virus settled
Strengthening its murderous vision
As a virus mutated
And promoted many editions
So a vaccine crashed in before admission
So a vaccine cashed in amidst a desperation
As a people dressed in protocols to avert a pandemic
As some danced to a rhythm of indifference
As some sang to a tune of complacency
As some ran a marathon of miles away from reality
So a people addressed a vaccine in its real colouring
“May this be the one to render a generation sterile
May this be the one to implant a nano track
May this be the one to wipe off everything black”
As a virus created fear in panic in a Plandemic
To cause an elite bearer to elect to light the torch
To pull in many
…pulling away for fear of the tragic
To pause to decipher who among them was more pathetic
…even to deserve an early shot
So a vaccine caused headaches and sleepless days in panic
As nations ran helter skelter
To patent an invented vaccine
To send away a virus from their nations
So a nation lamented
Inventing to run over each other
To embrace a vaccine invented by fellow nations
With much adulation
May this not only be called a mental Pandemic
May this simply be called Pathetic
