I hate you. I hate you.

"Well nobody loves colds."

Yes but I really do hate you.

"Relax. You'll get over it."

What a blocked nose on fire,

which burns into my brain?

A dizzy head and distorted vision,

Sometimes hallucinating and all of that?

I mean look what you do to people.

"So - All a part of living.

We germs have to live too,

after all it was your kind that created us."

I knew it. You're evil.

"No - Just negative -

I like to slow you down."

Yes but you fuck things up.

I mean that.

You ruin my day, two days, a week,

and even a month for the unlucky ones.

Your death to the old and fragile young.

You can even flame H.I.V. to kill.

"I'm just your weakness that's all."

Yes well go back to whence you came from ill.

"What a test tube, or some chemical leak ?

Maybe my birth was made in a week.

Genetic tests and polluted manure,

fertilisers or chemical warfare.

From the cold hearts of the ice world,

or the tropics of the sun,

I am here to spawn and have my fun.

Running wild in your eco systems,

like a chaos rising in your respiratory rhythms.

Coughing and choking.

Shivers and twitches,

while I increase and breed all the more with your mucus -

umm my milk and honey. My promised land."

You're ugly.
