A week in December


There was once a week in December,

from a book,

I clearly remember.

that I had to read with a serious look.

I analyzed the written talks,

of Sebastian Faulks.

 

There were once stories intertwined,

of a barrister, a tube driver,

a young terrorist, a young drug addict,

of a hedge fund manager, a football player,

a review writer and a lawyer.

And not to forget the brother that lives confined.

 

When chutney and skunk,

are related with gaining money and being drunk.

 

Yet this week in December, is not funny,

but rather sinister,

Despite some implemented jokes,

Violation in ethics, Faulks' work provokes.
