Yet one more coffin of my kin
Adds to the misery of our city
Don’t blame God it’s a Satanic sin
Lo and behold, ‘Defeated Divinity’!

This New Year toos brought no succour
Just one more reason of despair
That lockdown was a disaster
Freedom from it is a reign of fear!

“We need many million fertile wombs”
To save our race from extinction
Our milestones are our lasting tombs
Of our economic crucifixion!

Story of China’s vainglory
Is all but a mere mythos it seems
The truth is the pain of history
Reprised by Funeral Of Dreams!
