AN ABSURDITY

Christine kawira

What is this lethal and fatal hero,
Indiscriminating as death itself,
Exploiting our low status as citizens,
The question is "who is behind this booming music ?"

It is underground train
Taking those abroad to their graves
Swiftly if I may add
In this inferno we obtain tickets
Form of coronavirus and secure places
The question is "who is behind this booming music?"
