Never stop, never settle down
One step ahead, on safer ground
Lock the windows, draw the shades
Down with the lights…candles okay
Struggle a constant, picking my head
Must secure a solution unique and unsaid
Perilous days are all that remain
Evacuated majority wanted no more pain
Malicious mistreated revenge declared
Tattered remnants from societal warfare
A genuine construct novel and beyond
Electrical particles tested all wrong
Plausible admonitions cautioned to late
as ideas of wonder influenced rage
Disease took hold unfathomed in stride
Purging the land not a matter of sides
Who are the victims who are the foe
No sides declared just survive with the flow

Quite a harsh view of humanity but I guess it's a true reflection because when an unprecedented event occurs which threatens everybody on every level, self-preservation is the only thought in mind.
Thank you for the perspective...I see what you mean in regards to the harshness of humanity. I sometimes don't consider all avenues and perspectives when I splay my mind on paper.
Self-preservation was thought of when writing this however only in the respect to the subconscious.
The message that weighed heavy within me when I wrote this was the idea of the "unprecedented" leaving no sense of structure or balance of any form in sight...All absolutes suspected. Where does one stand when right and wrong are not only gone...but forgotten?
