This Virus Of Racism Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
This Virus Of Racism
Thinking was I of this newest scare
That has stolen away people's dare—
The deadly virus COVID nineteen
For which we may soon find a vaccine.
But doubt I've of racism virus,
That has been one of most vicious,
Nor is there a vaccine known to fight,
Nor may one sooner come to fair light.
Nor ever an antibiotic
To defeat the devil's lethal kick—
A virus that's proved as dangerous
As has been one of most infectious—
A virus that took its roots so firm,
Thanks our endemic indifference
To take a solid action at once,
This virus alas of racism!

Excellent write and great theme. Racism and narrow nationalism have been embedded in the human race. They are one of the great causes of disunity, inequality and lawlessness among mankind. An insightful poem so well presented.
Yes, cause of disunity, inequality, and lawlessness, I agree. Thanks for visiting.
