NOWHERE IS SAFE

They said that at the time of the end, fire from the sky,
earthquakes, whirlwinds, violent floods, so now goodbye;
however, we have our faith, can just trust in the lord,
nothing to worry about, apart from occasional tornado in Watford.

I live in the safest place in the world, darkness passes over,
and if it comes, no worries, I'll be in the arms of my lover;
I could live in Sparrowsong's house, pictures of Trump on the wall,
we'll write poetry, when we died - we were having a ball.

I'm a terrorist, instructed by Allah, I'm medium colour,
maybe you're black, instruucted to be hated like de rigeuer'
they want me to make everything unsafe like hyperboles,
no one told me that I'd been indoctrinated by illiterate fools.

We may search for equanimity but don't know where to start,
but, of course, it was always there in the depths of your heart.
