It takes a sagacious sense of wry humour
to emit a curse that sounds like a blessing
and to impute its origins as an ancient Chinese
imprecation yet it seems a fitting enough origin
though false reflecting the temper of these times
where humanity has been cursed by a chimeric
pathogen that broke the bounds nature invested
it with as a primordial evil essence burrowing
its way from animal to animal across the species
barrier in China where the human animal is
wont to see table delicacies in other species
caging and slaughtering the wild, inviting the
lost free spirits of the animal kingdom to return
with a vengeance wreaking death and destruction.
