Cholera Chimera Poem by John Sensele

If by design you should shove a toilet
Not far from a water well
Know that cholera regret
A sad tale shall soon sound a notorious knell.

If by design your hands should carry dirt
As you process snacks for sale
By the roadside, know that horrible hurt
Shall soon rain on consumers hell.

If by design your call of nature should scatter
Bacteria and microbes in the open
Know that dangerous matter
Shall stalk your community often.

If by design you should ignore
Advice to prevent pervasion of cholera
Know that cholera shall not snore
But obliterate several viscera in your era.
