You call me a pandemic, abstruse ‘n arcane obstinate ‘n oriental, difficult to understand,
Let me unravel, I am your replica, a ditto, a double, a facsimile, I ain’t somebody grand,
I was once a baby, raucous ‘n rambunctious, impatient ‘n impulsive, spirited ‘n wild,
Like the imprudent parent, you didn’t pay attention, you just simpered ‘n smiled,
I then grew up into a fanatic, zealous youth, vicious ‘n vile, reckless, delirious ‘n distraught, dabbling into danger,
Hesitant ‘n unsure I snuffed, willing to stall ‘n stand, your perceptive prehension would’ve been the game-changer
You bungled, I evolved into my grandiose gorgeous glory, loose ‘n licentious, pompous ‘n proud,
A savage sadist I became, malevolent ‘n malicious, relishing, rejoicing in plowing the crowds
In your ignorance, crude callowness, I thrive, bloom ‘n blossom, rise ‘n shine
You still decline to align, consign, combine ‘n confine, the blame is not all mine
Someday, not any time soon, I’ll be an old man, defeated ‘n dejected, gloating in the conquests of the past,
Frail, weakened yet alive, mature, mutated ‘n wise, sated ‘n quenched, formidable ’n fearsome yet surpassed,
despite all your endeavors, efforts ‘n intention, my soul ‘n essence, my pneuma will always remain,
