Fearsome mankind
caught a tiger by its tail.
The alpha predator
known for its prowess
in stalking wildlife
setting out traps and enticing
lesser animals of greater
size and strength to take
a leap of faith that the bait
set out to whet its appetite
will not spell its end. A
trophy of wit over nature's
will to survive. Until nature
set out a trap of her own
and humanity is the bait
where an invisible threat
marauds at will to invade
that bait where it flourishes
and replicates and goes on to
hunt again and again. In the
risible language of humanity
the infected 'caught' the virus
where in reality the virus
caught its victims unaware.
