Call of Romford



Soul of hair gel 
Conjoined deviance 
Put your elbows 
On a plinth 

All things 
Decay 
All things 
Diminish
All things 
Distend
Like your perfume 
And your credit 

Call of Romford
Diasporic  
Your assurance 
Vaults and preens 
Call her trueness 
Diabolic
As she flays
bends and grieves 

Do we notice 
Our destructive 
Compass set to misery 
Do we want 
To live this evil 
Selfish doting meantime life 
Of morbid servile 
Deference to 
the whim of fate

Shall we merge 
With brother Remus 
Cigs as mercy 
Can't be bought 
Please don't kill me 
I am sorry 
To lack virtue
To be fingered
To be caught 
In duplicity 
And collusion 
In mendacity 
And refusal 

Shut the book 
Case is proven 
Guilty is the human given 
Life means life so
Die in prison 

Soul of hair gel 
Conjoined deviance 
Put your elbows 
On a plinth

This is the way 
Step outside 
Coveting blood 
Stop the tide.

Finished, May 26/20
