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
