Pandemic



Peculiar and strange, the 21st century epic,
When the world stood still, it made us seem pathetic,  
All, were tormented with fear, of the mysterious pandemic,
A widespread outbreak of unspecified and infectious epidemics,
Mass global hysteria that generated a scientific human kinetic,
Most were produced or related to a rational idea of genetics,
A quick response to administer, the vaccinated dynamics,
People came together to support the cause and became sympathetic,
The unfortunate ones were hospitalised with care, of booster antiseptics,
Women accepted their natural beauty without the lab critter cosmetics,
Altho proud and confident, they wernt feeling photogenic,
Schools closed and students forced to halt their degrees in academics,
The tierd earth rested to regain its strength and become energetic,
The vast ocean was overworked by greed which is careless and barbaric,
The animals thrived and reproduced improving birth eugenics,
It drew families together and became effectively systematic.
