Infected


Thriving, mistaken Passion - centuries old, yet Determining prosperity; Arose as Child’s Play - Plummeted with Mind’s Pay; Struggled for Dominance - Fell for carelessness; Twas Vanished, Considered Demolished - the barricading Slackened; Time past, Stories grew narrow - Tranquility flourished; Creeping back, without knowledge - Population expansions, Effortless victims; And 1920, succulent rising! - Effortlessly, Encourage thoughtlessly; Unnoticed, thrashing and intensifying - No warning, No consideration; Decades Pass, no awareness - Then It leaks, revealed in Silence; Noticed, but majority overruled - Striking at Youth vigorously, Starting on all. Who to Blame, Who to Accept? - No person to Accept, all to Blame; Acting constantly, Event Horizon approaches - Retaliation failing, Doom Rising; Avoided in Vast Past, Accepted in the Day - It is Upon Us - Nothing to do. The Future comes, or the impression - Either of which, a Devastating tragedy; The world considers, Plans - Or the World as we know it; Sickened by Lies, Spoiling - Can not decide, must relearn; It fades, Dies out - Like the very past; And try avoiding the Past - Hopeless; History repeats, unknowningly - It will come again.
