I listened to an NPR piece about the stigma that Thomas Eric Duncan's neighborhood was facing, and it made me think about how racism was fueling the hysteria and how that's a bigger epidemic. I hate that almost everything in this poem is still relevant and there was very little I had to edit.enOpen Verse PoetryEpidemicOther
