On a mission
A mutation
The kind that could only be considered an Action of an Angry God
A malady
Incurred mortality
A sea of sickened bodies growing cold on Easter Day
And the mendiants
For mendicants
Who have lost their will to pray
The masses
Mourn the ashes
The memories and mothers in the furnaces burned to gray
Mounds
For morticians
Clutching desperately to respirators until the toxic fumes allay
