Furtively Frustration

Furtively frustration is envenoming the essence of the populace.

Absorbing the city as a whole,

She drapes her dark cloak over Cairo.

Seducing even the most compassionate souls,

Her growling laughter screams,

She isn’t just a dream.

I run for shelter,

Can feel her cool breath drawing closer,

There is nowhere left to hide,

I’m going to have to fight.
