The Voice of Farouk



(A dark voice whispers)


We the dead 

Envy you 


The living

You know 


Crying 

Watching 

Everywhere you go


From our new bedrooms 


In quiet tombs 

Underground 


Worldwide


In this endless winters snow


Saying  


Look at all those crazy fools 


Suddenly dying 


They'll all  

Be coming here 

Soon


To gather in our 

Dark Black Watchers 

Fields 


With us 

The new night breed


Turning slowly to 

Pitiful dust 


Filled with dry tears 

And crying eyes


Endlessly 

Whispering too


Why did we listen to paid-for lies 


For when that bastard Covid Man 

Comes a calling 


With his shiny black medication bag

Filled with backhanded bribes 


All living things 


Filled with rarer than gold 

Pure loosh and fear 


Start 

A falling
