Over-population and gobal-mobility exacerbate human contact.
Any disease, of body, mind or doctrine, spreads speedily.
What would once have been local and controllable
leaps speedily across continental borders.
Is this, perhaps, nature's response to medical science?
In healing the sick are we in conflict with divinity?
Yet pressure from the vested interests of airfleet owners,
and from the travel and the entertainment industries,
feeds on our desire to see other lands,
We bend to advertised delights of foreign soils
and bring their diseases home.
