We Are Not A Virus

“I’m beginning to be so ******* tired of you CHINKS”
“Stomach is turning y'all make me sick”
“Just go back to Wuhan, wherever you come from”
“Been holding this in I can no longer be calm”
“Put a mask on your mouth
I’m stomping you out with these shoes that were made by you”
If you saw the
Bleed and all the 
Creeps on the streets
Would you reach out or the rather 
Turn the other cheek
Everybody be like
“Me won’t think differently”
It gets funny
Now we in the zombie scene
Killing each other before the skin turns green
Fear-mongering
Now they be partying
True colors surfacing 
when the world’s suffering
As we speak disease accelerates
Exactly the excuse
They use to spread the hate
Mind is what it usually contaminates
Look into their eyes
That’s where you find the real plague
Infecting the weak minds to discriminate
Spreading faster than bacteria for sickness’ sake
Why you gotta put a tag on it in the first place
Don’t we belong to the same race
The HUMAN race

  1. I really like the use of quotes in the introduction to set the context of the poem.

    Also, the lines that really resonated with me were: True colors surfacing
    when the world’s suffering. That's a very accurate depiction of what is happening is very few words.

    Excellent writing with a strong message!
