Living in a Möbius strip

Oh my dearest people
Watching them fall into despair
Confusion, illness, denial, apathy
Every emotional response derives from fear, it’s said

Living in a Möbius strip
Two sides on the same side
Alive and not alive
The swirl of the unknown

Tramples through my world
Our world, the micro and macro
Suffering of similar fates, at similar rates
One mutation of DNA at a time
