CORONA LIMERICK - 8

At long last Pandemic is retreating
And our patience has started repaying.
As the dark dissipates
And our hope reemerges,
We do notice our victory is looming.

What if we have escaped hidden onslaught
Of the virus if life is unsafe lot ? 
For the bug when it goes 
Will return daily foes -
Both invisible, visible on the trot.

Perhaps Corona came to teach humans
That modern fads can't provide them insurance
'Gainst the force of caprice,
That death comes when shakes the dice,
That their vices ensure their own sufferance.

But our learning does never take place.
And now Corona goes, we'll replace
Our temple with our den
Fill'd with evil things again,
And start waving the arms of self-indulgence -
We the cannibal humans will munch on
Our own tissues and drink our own blood for fun;
On the corpse of the virus
Will be placed our own corpse;
Like before, our own viruses will thrive on...
