COVID Variant B.11.529 Greedy and Too Late

Mutated COVID-19 variant with apparent origins in South Africa

Cases emerge in the EU

“Valiant and brave” effort to contain the spread

First World descending towards more lockdown dread

Should have avoided sharing the vaccine to the Second and Third World instead

First World countries far too greedy jabbing up their folks to no avail as up may augment the count of the dead

Just when they became smirky and confident by in effect ignoring the need elsewhere

In their superior medico dreams

Yet another lockdown in sight

And the midnight fires burn at the laboratories of Big Pharma giving the world good kharma

For better or worse its everywhere and possibly ready for a final devastating tear

Or is this just a media scare?
