Virus
Alex Peak


   Nobody seems to know.
They all sit around me, blind.
Explanations are long and drawn out.
   It’s pathetic.
The secret is being kept.

   Nobody seems to know.
All they see is the open void.
They fail to see the underlying truth.
   It’s devastating.
The secret is being kept.

   Nobody seems to know.
No one bothers to mention what is.
Our world of technology is no match.
   It’s pitiful.
The secret is being kept.

   Nobody seems to know.
Drawn up in their own lives.
Attention is still loosing its value.
   It’s horrifying.
The secret is being kept.

   Nobody seems to know.
They speak without facts.
Understanding no one, they listen to themselves.
   It’s stupid.
The secret is being kept.

   Nobody seems to know.
Opinion is cared for.
Everything is still fucked up.
   It’s scary.
The secret is being kept.

   Nobody seems to know.
Memory begins to fade.
The virus is still out there.
   It’s true.
The secret is being kept.
