A Growing Snowball

 

This snowball is growing, 
yet it started so small, 
This world was sprinting, 
now its back to a crawl, 
45 souls were squeezed to death, 
Then when benches fell, 
three more took their last breaths, 
Next along came the Italian cable car, 
With the ropes that broke like a Kit Kat bar, 
Rockets were shot, millions took cover, 
And all the while, this pandemic still hovers, 
Now just this week, 5 deaths by a bus, 
And dozens more injured, 
all people like us, 
This snowball is growing, 
it won’t fit in my hand, 
The snowball must melt, 
this can’t be the plan.
