The Spanish Flu

spreading wide of the worst judged number of deaths
spanish flu flew between nineteen eighteen
a scope wide, a too-devastating breadth
silenced 50 million breaths
in matter of few months
the sky's angels playing songs

black death ravag'd thirteen four six
the year closed, secured forty percent
humankind relegated behind, began descent
comunal backbone like never been bent

new world conquistador
standing scouting atop dusky hilltops
brought small pox and disease many more
seed of hades had been sown
six feet below the ground

sixty million more company grim
gracefully ill become decimate
deadly to interogate
and Savior lies fabricate
the worst of Humankind's defecate
