Please remember, don’t forget
The EBOLA outbreak, the EBOLA threat
It seems to originate in West Africa;
Now it is spreading near and far.
It’s not possible to contain it within borders,
Soon it will lurk in all hospital corridors.
Just think of the poor souls dying a horrible death,
And those bereaved who still walk the earth.
All nations should make an effort to unite
To get this nasty disease out of sight
We found a cure for AIDS, malaria and T.B.
Surely there can be one for this EBOLI.
To quarantine those infected is not enough,
There must be a vaccine or some other stuff.
Instead of spending fortunes on rockets and arm deals,
Give scientists a grant to find what cures, what heals.
Pray the disease doesn’t spread to S.A. or Angola
Please Lord find a permanent cure for EBOLA
