Dance of Death

The dragon dance of death,
Born in silent Wuhan
Round and round far it goes,
Filling ballrooms of Rome
Hip Hop, Tap, Rock and Roll
Taking breaths of poor souls
Healthy youth fit to dance,
Saving our elder lives.

Breathing fire as the dragon dances everywhere causing death to the old and vulnerable in the most unlikely places while the music plays on ... Wow
