Hepatitis C Morning

The assiduous virus
spikes and writhes
in my tainted blood
nibbling at my liver,
eating up my time.
Energy disappears;
I shine and glow;
my stomach tumbles.
The mortality worm
chomps and gnaws.
All I did to earn this
was try to save
a few friendly lives.
The lesson learned
is that there is no
lesson to be learned.
The law of unintended
consequences
operates ineluctably.
No one to blame,
not even God.
In the end, we all fall.
Shit simply happens.
Don't mean nothing,
nothing at all.
