The Human Race

by Peter Hill
14th April 2022

Dear virus you’re right

Our fate’s in our hands

Though you’ve stolen “the march”

For you we’ve a plan

 

We too have great legions

Though less so than you

But the challenge you have set us

Is one we won’t lose

 

Hard lessons we’ve learned

This is ever so true

For we’ve met your kind before

And great harm they caused too

 

But then as is now

We’re turning the tide

Very soon my dear Virus

It’ll be your turn to hide

 

But hide as you may

Your secrets we’ll learn

Each weakness you have

Is a screw we will turn

 

Until in the end

It is we who’ll “own you”

And just like your forebears

You’ll be history too.
