Plagued

A virus, spreading by a mushroom's spores.
Flesh of the innocent rotting away.
And the animals who walk on all fours
are not safe at night nor in the day.

Bodies thinning and carcasses decay,
Animals suddenly eating their kin,
Lives of the innocent slipping away,
As the whole world's hope grows awfully thin.

Scientists trying hard to find a cure,
But they fail for the hundredth time again.
Desperately trying to make the world pure,
To ensure safety for women and men.

After years of research they found the cure!
