As the bells toll
As the sky turns dark grey
As the birds halt their flight
As the world is hushed into silence
A terrible illness struck
Befalling many a person
A lottery in life
So strong is it's grip
So lacking in it's choosing
The severity a gamble
A shocking state it's landed us in
Across the world
No boundaries placed before it
Hundreds and thousands suffering
And no one has a clue to what caused it
How can this be
How vile and deadly in it's ransom
As we scramble for solutions
We are at the mercy of the little known
Entity

Unfortunately we may have to accept this as always being with us.
