It’s certainly a thrilling work of art
Different from any I’ve read or watched
An exciting and riveting anthology of authors
Specially curated for those with a taste of the world’s darkness
I must warn you though, that it is not for the squeamish
It’s raunchy, racy and risqué
Those of you with weak stomachs may wish to turn away
For it is guaranteed to leave a bad taste in your mouth
Being able to interact with the story, gives it a special touch
It’s a crazy concept, sharing opinions with the public eye
Digitally buzzing around scandals, sharing them
pollinating propaganda without proofreading
It’s the ones who write the “truth” that keep me glued
The way they skillfully write about a murdered mother
Or a foreigner selling drugs to a child
The narrative that paints his nation with a single stroke
A narrative that’s been pushed since time immemorial
Come, bury your head in this literary world
A world of corrupt politicians and the elite at the top
The poor die of hunger and unemployment
The young and rebellious playing mafia with each other in the streets
Ah, you could practically feel the sickening scene!
The smell of freshly spilled blood on the asphalt
The sound of multiple gunshots
The blood-curdling screams of the victims
The shivers it sends through your spine
No telenovela or drama series comes close to comparison
It’s a million riveting tales, of a crumbling society
