by Yuan Changming
Another broken line of thought about the pandemic sweeping the whole world
Two worlds dueling fiercely against each other within every space
Three spirited dragons throwing fires from the sagging sky
Four dozen celled chips occupying all the brain circuits
Five scores of tsunamis of dark matter invading from beyond the universe
Six hundred inner black holes sucking reason and feeling alike
Seven thousand fishes keeping charging towards the beach
Eight million mosquitos roaring together more aloud than lions and tigers
Nine billion viruses struggling to come out of Pandora’s box with evils
Ten trillion zombies and vampires marching along each road and street
Jumping from deep waters & among muted echoes of its own calls
A whale sings: Time to wake up, time to wake up, damned Humans!
