A Murder Most Foul
May 2021
A good year to live in and a good year to die in
A year of infamy and shame
The Politicians riding high
Playing merchants of death
Telling you “Don’t ask what your country can do for you?”
We’ll mock you and shock you and we’ll put it in your face
We’ve already got someone here to take your place
They killed you once and they will kill you again
Will lead you to slaughter like a sacrificial lamb
Ugliest thing that you have ever seen
Money to burn ?
No hospital
No bed
No oxygen
No cure
No tears
Matter of days and you knew your days were numbered
You knew you were never gonna make it
Suffocated to death
Right there in front of everyone’s eyes
Greatest magic trick ever under the sun
Cruel and deceitful
Perfectly executed, skilfully done
A hard act to follow, second to none
Led into a trap
Happened so quickly took you by surprise
Gone just like that
Killed without respect without remorse like a dog in broad daylight
A matter of timing and the timing was right
Hush the undertaker has come to collect your unpaid debts
A lonely funeral
No one to see you off
No time to grieve
No time to pick up the pieces
Lost to Covid
The Sun goes down
I don’t give a damn
The dead man is free
Now another number another statistic
Counting numbers day after day makes me dizzy
It is a genocide no less
Tell me no lies
It is what it is a murder most foul
Thousands watched and nobody said a thing
The day when faith, hope, and humanity died
Soul of a nation torn and decaying
I’d rather go blind
What more could they do ?
A murder most foul
They piled on the pain
