The disease is now rampant

Affecting our nearest and dearest compliant 

The twist of deceit, the distal principle

Driving us far beyond the realms of spiritual.

Into the jaws of certain death

Taking to itself the very whisper of breath.

Turn away and leave them all standing

Save yourself from the fate of those handling 

The dangerous death that never cheats

Taking everyone behind the wall of sheets

It spreads like a universal fire

Through every branch and briar

Down the labyrinthine channels of nerve, vein and fibre

Root it out and put it away forever.
