It enters the scene slyly,
where from we know not.
It challenges the chariots
of human arrogance.
—————–
It sits waiting without
racism, genderism,
sexism and classism,
ageism or poverty.
———————–
Wealth will not avoid
its tentacles tangling
and trying to kill as
it seduces and secures
——————————-
its future development;
spreading silently,
mutating, morphing and
mangling management.
————————-
Many’ll fall, most will stand.
Tears will stain our faces
and survival means grief
and joy at life’s journeying.
