Scourge

 Wipe us out

in masses

or one by one


Wipe us out

Even the score


The earth is fighting back

creating viruses

and diseases unknown


And we can do nothing about it

Our own hubris

will be the end for us


Wipe us out

With new variants

Old favorites

and the plague


Wipe us out

Kill us all

The evil and innocent, alike

The angels and the demons

The just and unjust 

The mighty and the powerless


will all fall

to the final

scourge
