sorenbarrett

Snowdrops bloom through ice, Orchids tropic heat does entice
The Deathstalker thrives in desert air, in the artic lives the Polar Bear
A virus and man the one same as the other, in both climates plays the game
They kill or maim without compunction everything they claim

      Virus and Man - a blow to the stomach. An easy 'fave'

        And now we face the nipah virus 🦠🕊️🙏🏻

          Different names, different days, yet all the same in an eternal game. I let my body do its designed work and the devil take his due.

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            Soren, this is ruthless and precise. The sweep across climates sets the stage, but the real strike is the refusal to exempt humanity from the same rules. Survival without conscience…adaptation without mercy. It’s bleak, but piercingly accurate. Powerful work, my friend. Powerful. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

              Thank you Tristan for the review and for you insightful understanding of the meaning. You seems to see right through with x-ray vision I will work on one a bit more challenging in the future.

                  If covid was a trial run, and we saw how quickly it went around the world.
                  It stands to reason this is how man comes to an end.
