Blasphemy

Like a patient in the hospital

(on the backstreet, room 619

number as trivial as I

and them who can trace

their origins there)

of this deadly pandemic

called life as it is disseminating

as if it were viral content from TV

of a Muslim man being killed

for consuming beef out his fridge

or a Hindu infant being raped like

it was such a monstrous sin to commit

listening to Eminem’s rap

what a sack-religious act

for once to shatter the epistemic echoes

reverberating out of impartial anchors

and experts on TV’s spitting facts

instead of beef

Funny! Pfizer is developing vaccines for a disease

that doesn’t even exist

Are they or am I just sick?
