#fittest - Hello Poetry

A little cough, no worries, it will go away More irritable next day, worrisome by third Had better see a doc, but slept the last that night Scattered world wide, by planeloads, unrevealed, unknown Germinate in a week, spawn on breath, speech of death Revived ancient bug, mutated, drug resistant. Pandemics, long with us: Black Death was not the first Now global rapid spread, global rapid response Always ready, always surprised, always novel. The fit didn’t survive, the survivors, the fittest Catastrophic selection, months, not million years Emptied earth, cleaned, reclaimed, to be fought for, again.

Pandemic

A little cough, no worries, it will go away More irritable next day, worrisome by third Had better see a doc, but slept the last that night Scattered world wide, by planeloads, unrevealed, unknown Germinate in a week, spawn on breath, speech of death Revived ancient bug, mutated, drug resistant. Pandemics, long with us: Black Death was not the first Now global rapid spread, global rapid response Always ready, always surprised, always novel. The fit didn’t survive, the survivors, the fittest Catastrophic selection, months, not million years Emptied earth, cleaned, reclaimed, to be fought for, again.

Survival in nature is always a selfish process. Whereas, Nature itself built selflessly.
