Rabbits

I am nine
Looking at
The cages
My uncle keeps
Rabbits in all empty
So I ask him where are
The rabbits and he tells me
Too many rabbits all together
Get sick to lower their numbers
And this thought occurs to me as
The pandemic rages since the
Pandemic is a symptom of a
Bigger problem which is too
Few resources for far too
Many people with a few
Hoarding most of the
Cards in the game
So like my uncle’s
Sick rabbits we
Will have one
Pandemic
After an
Other
Until
We
Learn
To control
The number
Of rabbits and
Redistribute the
Cards each of us hold
Or face one pandemic after
Another until we learn to share
Or the next virus leaves our cages
Empty when a far more deadly
Virus carries off not just some
Few but the majority of us
As the rich try to hoard
And capitalism seeks
To maximize profits
At the cost of a
Suffering too
Painful to
Forgive
Or
Forget.
