IT WILL PASS YOU BY

Round and round the circus goes
Laden with a composite spill: innocent blood
He is not death
But the trumpet that precedes it
From Asia and Europe
Among the sons and daughters of the sun at last
Like rumors now reality
Legs and hearts breathe their last
And can save no vaccine no cure

The brave men hide
The wise men run
The weak wonders how to survive
Just a cough, a handshake
Just a sneeze, a spit
That contact, that fluid exchange
Prices high, schools close down
Everything moving to a stand still

… The circus still goes
Innocent blood falling down
Stay calm
And do the right
You’ll finally find
It passing you by
