Plague Songs - Composed Upon Viewing The City of London From Blackfriars Bridge, October 7th, 2020 / by Rich Hobbs

Earth has not anything to show more crass:

Dullards rebuilt this mess with Duplo blocks,

Each twisted City skyscraper which mocks,

With ribs of steel and lungs of clouded glass,

Dissent from claims, that where there’s muck, there’s brass,

Where psychopaths sell other psychos stocks

In spires designed by algorithms, a pox

That scars our cityscape, retold as farce,

And Crows’ nests for the 27 Club -

And not those rock stars who od’d that age,

But 27 billionaires who rub

Soft hands while drooling like a coprophage

And own HALF the World’s wealth. Beelzebub

Now glides between the towers, just to enrage.
