The Real Vaccine

[William T. Hathaway]

Our world now writhes like a wounded worm, helpless

to escape its torment, blind

to the cause but blaming

a bug:

“Stop it, stomp it, strangle it!

Too late – inside us, breeding into billions of bugs!

Kill them, poison them!

But our poisons don’t work – oh no!

Swarming with new bugs! Hopeless! Dying!”

All the while Shiva whispers:

“Beneath your terror and turmoil lies the tranquility of the transcendent.

You’re trapped on the surface mind, tossed by the waves.

Now dive to the depths and merge with me.

In my bigness a bit of bugness won’t panic you.

You’ll gain immunity to the insanity.

Come on down, look around,

here is where your Self is found.”

Wisdom verse is sometimes nice

but often overrated.​

In either case it really helps

to first get vaccinated.​

What a very clever verse

Unlike the OP, true, but terse.

Well played.

Our world now writhes like a wounded worm, helpless

to escape its torment, blind

to the cause but blaming

And I thought I was pessimistic and cynical.

I know you’re not a doctor and even not a nurse
But there is a ton of wisdom contained in your small verse
Flu and covid, each one another modern curse
A liitle jab or two may keep you from becoming
The one riding boxed in the back of a hearse.
