New Poem by ThisCantBeHappening!'s resident poet Gary Lindorff: Black River


By dlindorff - Posted on 04 November 2014

Ebola, “Black River”,

Thank-you for giving your name

To a killer virus.

Those scientists, those doctors,

The ones who discovered the germ,

They looked at a map

And they saw the river Ebola.

That’s a good name!

They almost named it Yambuku

After the town

Where the virus was actually discovered...
