Flippant bon mots do that, they make us chuckle
they're so on the mark and yet spontaneous
hitting on the right notes. We're not chuckling now
the world really is on trajectory to hell in a proverbial
handbasket and no one knows how to stop it even as
a dread unseen and sinister zoonotic somehow
unleashed ravishes the world of humankind where
despite millions of deaths and viral sickness humanity
proves itself an unrepentant predator, a carnivore
of the weak and the vulnerable in raging conflict
creating destitution and homelessness, disruptions
that create devastating food scarcity victimizing
the helpless. Humanity like an ancient gladiator
syringe in one hand, sword in the other smiting
one side then the other facing multiple venomous
threats only to be felled in the final curtain call.
