Looking down the barrel of this dark gun <br />The experts careful not to be alarmist <br />But agreed we must prepare for that which will come <br />Not as spectator sport <br />Perhaps a decade of preperation grace <br />Perhaps vastly less <br />The strike of iron through a sea of hearts <br />It does not matter when this evil comes <br />It comes and <br />We must strengthn our levees <br />To have any hope of dignity <br />With which to greet it.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/refraction-off-charlie-rose-pandemic-interviews/
