A Freckle Poem by Emmanuel Odum

Frazzled from thoughts
of a disdained world
Festered with plagues
and stanching dens,
diseases and pains
depleting gains.
Mesmeric sane
with heights in vane.
Millineum shame
of virus reign.
Stuck like dope
on a thing called hope.
Mysteries in ropes
on life's happy slope.
Countless demons
in bacterial masking,
Jekyll and Hyde
coughing je ne sais quoi.
Speedy, frevolic, peak
daring epidemic,
a freckle on life.
