Darling Friend of Humanity Come In

Darling friend of humanity come in Why do you worry, tears rolling honey? If it is food you need for wrathful act Just cross over the cool Atlantic waters You’ll enjoy warm blood, milk and beef Sweetheart the spouse of humankind Can you dance to us rhythms of life? If you can visit Miami, Florida beaches Raise your eyes over the Alps and Thames Red carpet reception already arranged Beautiful queen of follies parade to destiny Can you make youth sing hymns in reverse? If elderly can bid good bye to scanty smiles ‘Cause you swing sweet lethal fangs of love Brotherhood of men cannot sing you lullaby Corona the car, corona the virus, corona the liar Why do you play chameleon hide and seek? If you lure passengers to ride in you but vanish Then close your eyes and kneel for mercy Humanity you torment indomitable charges America is wailing as Europe gathers ashes Asia is reciting epitaph as Russian throws dust Africa is eulogizing as Middle East curves wood Come near brother Corona -19 take this liquor Your crown of ferocity more beautiful it will be
