Acceleration
The virus
finds its mark
Zeroes in
Attacks
like a pack of wolves
Spreads
like a murder of crows
In flight
Accelerates
like a diving bird
Of prey
We thought
it would go away
Returned
to our ordinary lives
Locked our
old folks in their place
Stopped
tracking the daily toll
Placed our
fate in the hands of god
Rolled the
dice and played the game
We are
where we are because
We wanted
to be free
We are
where we are because
We refused
to be controlled
By some
incomprehensible enemy
Because
our leader went to sleep
Dismissed
all the guards and
Told us not
to worry
Because we
are Americans
Always in
a hurry
The virus
doesn’t care
What we
say or what we think
The
acceleration is happening
As we stand
on the brink
