* The Swine Flu Of Earth * Poem by ANJALI SINHA
* The Swine Flu Of Earth *
From whence come a swine flu
Still all are groping for a clue.
Oh Lofty Heavens! How come it
invades human race
Unless they too have become
swine’s own image.
The Human too
has infested the hallowed
frame of earth.
He is destroying the tree- earth’s lungs
He is polluting ocean- earth’s blood
He is hollowing mountains- earth’s bones
And excavating minerals- earth’s tissue
This swine flu of earth
is swarming, encircling and
suffocating earth’s breath.
This wretched leeches or earth influenza virus
sucks and gnaws the body of Gaia
Born to deface
God’s grace.
Is he really worth his salt
or God’s mind-boggling fault.

Well put! Swine flu has human, pig and bird DNA segments from three continents. So the swine must have invented it! Worth a full score!
