We watch patiently
As they gobble down our yam,
Like vultures preying on living carcasses.

They hurled faded notes on us
Yes,
We scrounge for the silver curse
Drawn from allure of darkness.

We watch patiently
As they invalidate empty facts
Of a super cat.


Alas!
Masquerades of royal circuses
Acting yet again
Depicting moral dullness
Of all cryptic lunatics.

At the background,
Across the spectrum,
We wail
And wail
And wail...
Together with the zombies.
