The bacterium of the disease

Is spreading by fleas or the rodents,

In certain areas remains endemic

And transmitted to the humans



Enter the body through small skin integrity breaks,

Spreads to the lymphatic glands and multiply

When the disease and the symptoms manifests,

People suffer an infection of the lungs

The transfer of oxygen is corrupted

Respiratory ailments problems,

Identified with pneumonic plague

Followed by fever and vomiting of blood

After the malady changes, black spots or livid

Appearance in the arms, thigh or elsewhere

Another way, boils erupted under the armpits,

Alike the emergence of certain tumors in the groin

The plague infects all subjects

Until remains the dead and the immune

The smell of putrefaction travels

Carrying with them the mark of death

Through the crowded alleys of human flesh

The intense smell of carrion goes flowing,

Conveying the germs through the air

Spreading death, and more putrefaction
