Faceless Foe is finally here!

It's finally here. The first in our series of poetic tales and nail-biting episodes from Simply Samad.

Enjoy the thrill.

FACELESS FOE

An ageless shadow is what she is

Neither time nor space

Slows her pace

Coming and going

Like a woman with grace

Yet

She’ll kill a man without making him bleed

This is her way

A Savage of no age

At work or play

No man or being

Escapes her rage

None is safe

From this faceless beast

Always on the prowl for victims

She meets a man with peace

And leaves him perplexed to the brim

Her appetite for prey

Brews on a daily basis

Men remember her and kneel to pray

With fear boldly inscribed on all faces

Without remorse or regret

Her purpose is venomously clear

With lips always red and wet

She pounces on you just anywhere

A day without her could mean two things

You’re either tackling a worse foe

Or no longer amongst the living

She strikes both day and night

Bearing contrasting names in different climes

But prominently known as HUNGER

Composed by Samod Biobaku
