The Virus

 
Some said it started with Adam and Eve
Others believe it came about when Cain killed Able
But all believe its been here from the ages

They aren’t sure how it’s contracted,
only that once infected it spreads quickly.
The Virus infects the heart before spreading to the brain cells leaving its victims dizzy.

The fast acting Virus has no known cure.
Although a few scientists tried working on it
they soon succumb to its affects.
The Virus has caused wars, famines, plagues and death. And so much more

The Virus has pitted nations against nations
cities against cities
towns against towns
neighborhoods against neighborhoods
neighbor against neighbor
families against families
friend against friend
father against daughter, mother against son.

What is this Virus you ask?
Why …its Greed of course.
