poetry lyrics:/ Man's sad fate, 'though undated awaits -- / Enzootic rogue

Viral spread, final chaos creates. 

                   

Authors' Note:  Having suffered the ravages of Covid-19, has humanity's ability to cope with outbreaks of infectious disease improved? Not too much. This pessimistic verse was written after seeing a TV documentary revealing updates on what we have learned about the potential threats of further epidemics.
