Virus on the rise ! Vultures would fly?



The virus attack is on the rise...
Society falls a prey___
Every day witnessing thousands of humans' demise,
The all powerful Man stands feeble
Against the Nature's mutiny,
Rampaging the so-called civilized race..
Marching boldly yet unseen launching themselves,
Replicating and mutating deceiving the immune system
While none can comprehend their tricky camouflage;
Ready to ambush the affluent & impoverished alike___
Untamed, Uncontrolled even by the strongest Shields...
Unfolding their savage and fierce blows against the Rationals,
Multiplying their powers to the zenith...
They  played politics even on the bureaucrats and political panderers:
Their sufferance though labelled less than the plebeians,
But they too; show signs of mellowing out..
Envisaging the deadly expansion and gigantic growth.

While mankind in common dreads - awaiting the mortal blow
Equipped with masks , sanitizers, sprays , shields and temperature guns
The Shylocks of the society stand prepared ...
Focussing their vulturous eyes - ready to pounce - with daggers in hands!!!
