The Wrath Of Zeus Poem by John Sensele

The wrath of Zeus
Evaporates the juice
Where souls succumb exponentially
Dying in vain essentially

Because the covid rampage
Ramps up its rage
Where intelligence quotient seventy three
Shunts its outrage aside, flaunting the Thomas tree

While hundreds of victims
Scramble for ventilator teams
To sustain the breath of life
In the midst of a pandemic strife

That exposes attention paucity
Healthcare deficit and scarcity
In nations so lacking in shame
Where stakeholders cast blame

One on the other
While a dying brother
Struggles in self quarantine
Knowing not whether the death twine

Scrambles to chant a lugubrious litany
While medics and critics disregard botany
As a portion to pacify the anger of nature
Disturbed and perturbed by a cantakerous culture

Bent on finger pointing
Paying lip service instead of injecting
Resources into a sensible solution
To the pervasive protocol pollution.
