Contagion

You can't hide away
Cannot bleed it out
A force deep inside
Unable to be tamed
Running wild in veins
You can breathe it in
It burns on through
If you survive,
It will still leave wounds
There is no way to be free
To kill it requires
More than we know
Contagion is fire
Contagion will kill us all
We are trapped in the mire
Of our own ignorance
