They tried a cordon sanitaire <br /> in an attempt to stop the spread. <br />The virulence was every where <br /> the lucky ones already dead. <br /> <br /> From whence it came nobody knew <br />but its effect were obvious. <br />Its early symptoms like the flu <br />becoming quickly serious. <br /> <br /> <br />The victims were in constant pain <br /> their lungs were filled with bloody pus. <br />They tried to treat but all in vain <br />its spread was fast and furious. <br /> <br />The first case was in Singapore <br /> a German girl on holiday <br /> but all too quickly there were more <br /> the numbers rising every day. <br /> <br />Mutated flu or something new. <br />The virus had immunity <br /> to every drug the doctors knew <br />spread here and there sporadically. <br /> <br />All movements in and out were banned <br />by the world health authority <br />The experts could not understand <br />the cause of this calamity. <br /> <br />As usual they were too late <br />too many tourists had passed through <br /> the airports of this island state <br />and where they the germs went too. <br /> <br />It spread to every continent, <br />Girdled he world at lightning speed. <br />Precautions proved incompetent <br /> there was no way they could succeed. <br /> <br />Man had been warned: Chose to ignore <br />Though Nature made her warnings plain. <br />She did as she has done before <br />Restored the balance once again. <br /> <br />Reduced the numbers ruthlessly. <br />The fittest would survive to breed. <br />Though they would struggle painfully. <br />I have no doubt they will succeed. <br /> <br />Civilisations come and go <br />but nature has the final say. <br /> She knows how far to let them grow. <br />Disaster can strike any day. <br /> <br />The time has come it must be said <br /> Too many mouths too little food <br /> the human race has over bred. <br />The future is not looking good. <br /> <br />http: //blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers <br />25-Apr-08<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nature-has-the-final-say-for-yoonos-peerbocus/
