The Infection

Down with the sickness

With Her Words
She infects
The masses

With Her Pen
A poison syringe

With Her Thoughts
A sweet contagion

That infects
As it
Is Read

it stains and taints
the paper
of your mind

The symptoms
Are Consuming

Yet
We are all
Immune

For how can
She Infect

The already
Infected Mind.

I have the flu💉

A clever twist at the end and a poem well penned. For this books were at times banned. A fear of infection but with medicine we have learned that the best way to prevent an infection is to inoculate. It is only by exposure that a disease can be defeated. Isolation from the virus can lead to disaster look what it did to Native Americans with the European invasion. Very nicely written

Soren, thank you. This was a silly little write I wrote when I was young. Still a teen, but only posted around 2015. Reading it again, it gives me flash backs of covid, when I had to get that shot and the needle was huge omg.. I was trying not to faint. haha

You can tell that you put in a lot of thought. It's clean and not sloppy. You have a really nice, unique style!

I also love the phrase "sweet contagion" for some reason...
