As hosts
We are so self centered
Even when parasites or viruses alight
Upon our being, we take the credit
Biological visitors
Invaders
Who take up abode
Feeding off our good nature
Till we are compelled to expel,
We retaliate
In due process of anti-bioics
Shirk them off
Then to those around us
Who
Can then claim
They caught a cold

I would like to translate this poem
Not too many poems out there pondering the wiles of microbes - an interesting perspective, indeed - I like it
