Behind The Curtain

Tonight the stars forgot to shine,
they surrendered to the darkness,
plunging us all into the hollow depths
of selfishness, greed and destruction.

Your chocolate fingers pointed out
the truth, the theory that I didn`t wish to hear
which had been swept under the rug
and patiently waited for its time
to crawl out and unfold its plan.

Behind the curtain of pandemic,
the whole world weeps in silence,
they mourn their dead, all alone,
in confinement, whilst vaults get
filled up to the top with money
drenched in blood, due to the virus.

From Rome to Istanbul and London to New York,
a trail of masks and gloves tells the story
of those who benefit from our sweat and tears,
from our elders death and our children`s stolen future.

A veil of darkness sweeps the Earth,
the hundred years curse takes its toll,
it always did and will go on until the day
the humankind will join hands and souls
to defend themselves against the giant octopus.

Some numbers don`t add up. Some headlines make no sense. Someone is lying and others are dying. Nothing new under the sun. Power and greed go hand in hand.

Population control, mandatory vaccinations, pandemics, global governments, unique currency - are only some of the main topics we keep on hearing during these quarantine days.

The real crisis is about to knock on our door, cause after the virus pandemic, famine is next due to the lower number of orders of fruits and veggies received by the farmers in North America.

As for the economy, is needless to say that it will take years to to rebuild and recover.
