If you can
For a moment
Put your anthropocentrism
On hold and
Think of it as
Gaia
Shrugging off a virus
Then the ones who
Disrupted her processes the most
Have had their processes
Disrupted the most
No other creatures are affected
The trees can breathe easier
Alas for us
She has learnt the concept of
Collateral damage from us:
Some of us will suffer terribly
But in the main
An elegant solution:
Stay at home
Until we realise
The truth of the matter
Gaia is our only home
