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
