We Are The Virus

Someone flattened a pigeon 

in my local supermarket car park 

they clearly drove over it 

on purpose,

it was an easy mark, 

a targeted kill 

seagulls, two of them 

were picking at its brains, 

it's a metaphor for human life,

its disgusting and ruthless, 

the psychopathy 

of the human condition 

is disguised under branded fashion, 

expensive cars, 

£300 haircuts and manicures 

but none of that stops you 

from being a killer,

a rapist

and a virus, 

we are the virus,

killing ourselves,

killing each other

and no one's asking

why?
