A virus has inhabited this world;
No way's been found to counter its attack.
The horrors this invader has unfurled
Have turned our sunny skies from blue to black.
Relentlessly it moves across the Earth,
One act of carnage followed by yet more;
Pursuing global spread for all it's worth—
On borrowed time, the planet's scarred and sore.
Perhaps one day the virus will evolve;
Humanity outgrow our selfish ways.
Of this I'm sure—our problems we must solve,
Before we hasten in the end of days.
It's time to alter course or we may see
All life on Earth fade into history.
