Virus
A free-verse poem about my perspectives on bullying, prejudice and racism and how painful, unhealthy and disgusting it is
Fury is a virus
that’s transmissible like the flu.
Psychological germs you keep
get spread to other living things.
Racism and prejudice
infects you severely.
It’s a neverending pandemic
that plagues society.
Meanness is a virus
that’s profound like measles.
Emotional droplets
can be caught everywhere on the globe.
Betrayal and negligence
makes you ill and feeble.
It’s a mental ailment
that blights your spirit.
