APATHY

Wailing mothers, Weeping sons,
Kids with oxygen support.
Don't save up your tears,
It can't get more grotesque than all that.

Cometh the hour, cometh the vultures.
While the small ones went behind money,
The smart ones preyed on votes.

Those 'leaders' busy living in denial,
Not just the disease even dignity for the dead.
Pied Piper they all are,
Compasses fixed firmly towards hell hole.

Food and shelter were always a distant dream for most,
But dare I say none expected that there will be a day where 'air' would also cost.

Death doesn't care if you rich or poor.
The disease doesn't either.
While the rich get a death bed,
The poor just die.

The world would end one day we all knew,
Some said by meteor, some said by nature.
The Pandemic showed us Nostradamus wasn't wrong by much.

Storms, hurricanes, tsunamis and gales,
Meteors and even deadly catastrophies.
This world survived them all.

But even Nostradamus wouldn't have predicted the Death Knell - Apathy,
Which would end us all.
