This Coronavirus Is Not The Plague

This coronavirus is not the plague The plague is far more horrible The plague does not forget the children Nor does it deal in a kinder way with the middle aged The plague does not let any escape with mild symptoms Nor can social distance save from the fleas and the lice The hidden invaders The plague is more painful for most Buboes and swollen ganglia burning Unconscious writhing and sweating At one stage no strong immune system can overcome The plague kills more and more cruelly The coronavirus takes the lives of its mostly already sick elderly slowly The plague kills almost everyone touched by it A greater horror is poor consolation for a smaller one Humanity has seen much worse than it is seeing now It will survive and thrive again
