"The Magic Show"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

Breathe in , Breathe out

This is what it's all about

The Unknown enemy in the air

Meant to give you quite a scare

II

Ignorance wins over imagination

As we are all fooled as a nation

Words is all they can fight with

And they think the problems will disappear

III

So they move the numbers

And make us believe

The number of the dead

is not as high as what we perceive

IV

While some are cremated 

Without the sign of a Doctor

Some then resurrect

To our delight and Horror

V

While the masses cry

To be fed and to be heard

They cry as well

Our coffers have been bled

VI

But who has made the bleeding?

Where has it all gone?

So we bury ourselves in more debt

As the deaths pile on.
