Coronavirus microbe (COVID-19) begat... heebie jeebies couple months before March 15th, 2020

More'n three hundred and sixty six days ago,

a pandemic did devastatingly blow

across the webbed wide world

dark shadows spelled glow

bull horror seeds of hell show

did terrify Homo sapiens

with unimaginable woe.

 

I revisited the following poem crafted last year

so little known about the when, why and where

concerning then Doomsday scenario unleashed

accept my humble apology if message unclear

giving reasonable rhyme details just threadbare

 

bard lacks scientific penchant I honestly swear

appalling attempt at writing trademark metered

poetic endeavor doth not lessen how ye revere

yours truly who would be amenable to answer

personal response, thus email me questionnaire.

 

Aye reckon eyes aforementioned microscopic organism

doth strain credulity threatening Homo sapiens left agog

stupefied, whereby mortality of species existential crisis

pitted against unseen rapacious (non public) enemy glow

 

bull diabolic scourge plaguing world wide web humbling

Homo sapiens arrogance, bombast, ecocentrism... fueling

outrageous mortal kombat concerning toilet tissue to stave

virulent pathogen wreak havoc across webbed wide world

immune systems entire bajillion complex edifices, (albeit -

biochemical, deoxyribonucleic, fantastical, helical, Judaic/

Christian, liturgical, neurophysiological, pathological, ollie

ollie oxen free radical, typical, virological, xylographical -

zoogeographical aerodynamical, critical, elliptical, genii

logical, ad nauseum) metaphorical house of straw knocked

 

(knick knack paddy whack...) upside the head obliterating

(one fell swoop) - fast as greased lightning defenceless ill

prepared immune systems rendering bipedal hominids law

n gevity (courtesy hiphop wordsmith Kanye West) basically

electric kool-aid acid test corroborating, galvanizing, plus

liberating riotous yawping, capitalistic, horrific, narcissistic...

aforementioned poetically licensed entitled germ cells, yours

truly suspects Mike rowed the boat ashore compromising rug

harding infecting taster's choice mortal human flesh, a fancy

feast inferred courtesy Sikh's six sense (mine), where spreads

 

trumpeting, kickstarting, and hooting virulent bugaboos flu -

went within ways and means of contaminating, infecting, and

orchestrating pandemic veritable microcosmic beastie boys foo

fighting (linkedin) twittering... figuratively and literally bring

erect simians to their knees (knobby in my case) maneuvering

offensive (salient parry and thrust) undermining physical health

among village people (think - human league) field day nabbed

(dagnabit) vulnerability, susceptibility, and quintessentially awk

wiring advantageous edge, whereby wreaking havoc across avast

global swath temporarily forcing twenty first civilization braking

 

(fast) bringing living social muckraking and mudslinging species

(envision) bajillion people suddenly deprived of cherished helter

skelter hubbub devoid (car own nah fiat issued without warning)

mandating swarming multitudes against buzzfeeding capital one

good n plenti frenzied madcap lifestyles necessitating, quickening

uber vicissitudes (zero sum game) witnessed by level playing field.

    your sobering last stanza accompanied by seemingly exponential homeless figures in first world cities, just brings up that harrowing realisation:
    if its this bad here, how much worse in the rest of the world? and why is no one talking about it?
