The Scourge

The illness takes

Wailing screams

Children that pray

Yet they keep their head up

Don\'t look down

Raise the buildings above the pollution

Raise the children above it all

 

Let the child test your food

As they cough on the blood

Don\'t let them stain that sickly white uniform

When mothers outlive their children

When the teachers all leave

 

The emotion gone

No one left to rage

No one to cry

Plain

No oxygen left

 

The masks we all wear

The illness hurts

The illness takes

A single misdeed breaks the veil

All sympathy gone

Selfish by nature

Illness cannot stop

Multiplies like pests

They know the end it coming

The illness ignores

The illness is US
