codename COVID – (Read and Listen)

Source: youtube.com
Codename:
C-VOID
secret agent
infiltration expert
empty as glass eyeballs
lonely as the loser
of a marathon
after all the crowd is gone
dragged across the finish line
by a pride that’s suicidal.
Cold War
kick-ass
catastrophic
Mr. Nobody.
Faster and more fickle
than Rumour
with a vengeance.
Vacant
as the smile
on the cardboard mouth
of Pandora’s Box.
C-VOID
secret agent
codename:
COVID.
