This is my forty-sixth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.

The music is "The Plague" by Scott Walker

๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€

You Can Never Escape It

Because You Are Infected

Yet Another Plague Victim

Your Body Is Infested

๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค

Your Putrid Flesh Starts To Rot

Bones So Brittle Soon Will Break

Cannot Move, Your Mind Forgot

The Plague Soon Your Life Will Take

๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค

Your Flesh Black, Bruised And Blistered

Your Heart Will No Longer Beat

Your Body Frail And Withered

Will Be Meat For Rats To Feast

๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค

Death Will Be A Sweet Relief

Plague Doctor Pulls Your Gold Teeth

๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’€
