Breathing through
a gas mask,
I slowly step outside
and hope
I'm not the only human
left alive.

Last week
the radio announced
of a new death virus.

Infected victims
consume the helpless.

I prayed for some hope
but things
have been getting worse.

Global warning
states of no cure
for the outbreak.

Blood stains
the streets as humanity
slips away
and it was long overdue.
