'It's taken refuge.'

(Poem)

It's just as i expected -

I've been suspected

Because of the infected,

I've crowned your minds -

Now i have been sweated/shredded

Read all about me.

But don't blame me -

I'm just trying to convey a message

Now that I've finally got all of your attention

Here's what i know.

The message is that

I don't know -

Why was i sent here?

To teach a lesson?

To reduce over population?,

To make room for the next generation?

Or maybe i was sent to remind you that your time here isn't forever and that you should stop screwing around.

You don't know the answer either

Because the answer is the cure,

And instead of solving for me

You choose to panic,

And call me scary

When in reality, I'm just misunderstood.

I'm just as you puzzled humans -

You'd figure me out if you settled down and talked to me.

Maybe i just envy natural disasters -

Maybe i reached out to you all because i needed help.

Ever thought of that?

Ever thought of why i return in a new form every year?

Maybe it's because you people didn't like the old me.

I've been dealing with myself for far too long.

But I've changed -

I never meant to hurt anyone,

I never meant to take the lives of your love ones,

I never meant to cause a hailstorm.

I'm just doing my job.

And my job is to warn you.

That it's time to see the world for what it truly is.

A modern mess based off ancient success.

Because I've grown -

It's time you adjust.

(Song)

How we gonna make things right?

Are we gonna stay inside, our homes

Are we gonna save some lives?

Are gonna sacrifice, oh no


We gotta get up and fight

Don't wanna have to say we didn't try, oh no

Can we truly survive?

Can we save the light, oh no
