survivors

survivors 
tell of how bad it was
the victims do not
argue      that 
the dead poets were greater
for as the surviving poets now say
nothing seems important anymore 
the tears seem clearly false
the blood is thin
a bloody virus seems 
such a pathetic reason 
to write purple prose   or
to call upon all that is holy
to spare us now that the latter days
are upon us
ask now 
will i be the great survivor
or the great survivor’s greatest regret
