Confessions of a Swine Flu suspect

Oh my simple cold and cough,
I request thee- leave me alone
For People have been ringing the alarm bells
They mistake thee for something else!

They say you hath something to do with swines
They say its dangerous and contagious
The public places-they say I cannot explore
But I know you're just common cold and nothing more!

Aah! my poor Throat!
your attention deficit syndrome -I understand
But that doesnt mean you go so Sore
Canst you see its causing an uproar?

and you---my nose?
This was not expected of you
Either you leak creepy fluids- or set up a blockade
Such extreme behaviour! Why have you betrayed?

Fear turns even the staunchest of atheist -
into believers firm
Help me Jesus,Allah -my Lord Dear
I'm just an agnostic-and one not so sincere!
