Nature's Marvels

 

A microscopic pathogen on the hunt.

A stranger in our midst whom we do all 

we can to avoid. A cunning organism with 

many surprises in store for unwary humanity. 

A raptor with no respect for intimate spaces. 

It lies in wait to grasp its opportunities. A 

lowly life form designed to replicate itself 

endlessly and on occasion mutate the better 

to surprise its victims with its tenacity. A

surprisingly libertarian sentiment expressed

in a predator that makes no distinction

between the bodies it inhabits, all grist

for its insatiable mill. Like all terrorists it

lurks everywhere and then strikes. A world

traveller of great notoriety whose reputation

strikes fear in the minds of the unprepared.

On assignment as death's dedicated emissary.
