(the)latest Threat Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Back to back they seem to come.
And the latest threat,
Is the most frightening one.
To have people running.
Most appearing out of breath.
Scared to death of rumors they hear.
About facing something,
Never before to be so near.

And yet...
This threat to regret gets closer.
And on all doorsteps,
In suburban and urban neighborhoods.
Everywhere.
To have little to do with the economy.
Or a containment of a diseasing pandemic.
Scientists World wide have promised to end.

This frightening threat coming to regret.
Is Common Sense!
Many are afraid,
They will be victimized by it.
And running for their lives they are,
Hoping a cure is found.
To keep their delusions unaffected.
Protected as best as possible!
