The Virus.
Hundreds of thousands died
That didn't have to.
That didn't ask to. 

But the threat was minimized.
Scoffed at as overhyped.
Like it wasn't spreading rampantly
In our own backyards.
In our own families.
In our own homes. 

It stole away the innocent.
It entered unannounced.
It cut off airways.

And there's no cure in sight. 

Ask Ahmaud.
Ask Breonna.
Ask George.
