Glorious Sweden

When the virus struck the virologist
put their faith in herd immunity six thousand
people died mostly those over sixty which
is a high number for a small country.
Sweden has been able to stabilize the number
of affected people but the virus is still there
regrouping ready to strike again,
This time it will target the younger generation
will fall victim of this deadly disease now
when winter comes, and nightclubs are
an alluring place.
The virologists have failed to see this virus
is not your common flu, that also is here to stay,
but we have a vaccine for this.
Now that all the elderly are dead we can say
Sweden is a young country but, alas, not a better one.
What do I know, perhaps this was intentional.

A very thought provoking poem on the terrible situation arising out of COVID 19 pandemic that has gripped the entire world in its fold. While your concern is not unfounded, I don't think that it was done in a premeditated manner as you have surmised- 'the younger generation.... will fall victim of this deadly disease now.'
