End of the World

 
In the days when hate and racism came more to light
Scientists spoke of a virus like end of the world prophets
But the rich and elite went against their advice out of spite
Because they were too focused on gains and profits

Then when governments began to crumble within
Weak leaders failed them as they died by the masses
While the privileged in their mansions sipped on gin
They helped build a bigger rift between the two classes

But this disease didn’t care about any social status
As it crept through every continent, nation and race
And though many denied it’s existence with malice
It took them too leaving a trail of bodies in it's place

Ignorance and indifference helped spread a virus
A war fought valiantly in hospital rooms and halls
Doctors and nurses were at the front line of a crisis
And like soldiers they too fell amidst medical calls

Day by day the world came to a heartbreaking end
As many fought bravely for life and all that is worth
Hate and disease were the enemy as history penned
Leaving a select few to continue life on this earth
