Pathogenesis

Mutagenesis, conception of a novel strain
Virosis, inception of a lethal bane
Exponential growth
The virus replicates

Extreme virulence
A fatal malady that will end
human existence
The entire species condemned
From host to host
Virions propagate

Invade the living cells
Seize control of the organelles
The basic units of life toxified
Distorted in order to multiply

Endless viral progeny
Maximised mortality
Ceaseless pathogenic adaptation
Evolution through rapid mutation

Airborne contagiousness
Inexorable infectious process
A morbid potency to defile
the very air that we respire

Evade the immune responses
Breach all natural defences

Filoviridae spread like wildfire, breeding death
The disease transmits through every single breath
Fatal symptoms emerge
The gory torment begins

Violent convulsions
Reddened eyes roll back, limbs flail
Visceral functions
abruptly stop as organs fail

Mouth spouting blood
Haemorrhage escalates
Circulatory shock
The body gives out in pain
Billions writhe and die
Mankind fades away

Pathogenesis, the ultimate nemesis
