Analysis of Untiitled



Nova Music Festival Israel 2023
Bubonic terrorists upon the flower children
Point-blank the murder, sweeping their fire
Like freckles bodies dapple the fields
Grenades into full shelters microbes of fun
tears are frozen among the few survivors
In groves the hyenas hunt their pray
Cars torched, without mercy the vampyres
Night had removed her robe of darkness
revealing a lethal nakedness at dawn
Even the tomb world observes a silence
