SHAME ON YOU

***************

How dreadful are you

Your face behold not

Catches you whom from wish

Seldom people go out of your grip

In you no life

Wait, have you eyes many

Have you legs many

Eh! Of what color are you

Tell now me reside where you

Language you understood tell me

Approaching you best when

Because, me want to appease you of your clustering hands

I know you listen, not too stubborn

Cruel and affection you pull off

Found you not where joy and happiness are

In sorrow and sadness present you always - why?

Why, why can’t your grips suspend for all once

Look, excruciating pains and sorrow melted you

Once at least borrow yourself brain

Fiend of human you are

See, see, the once being laid

See all legs followed in files

Can you now hear the epithets sang they

I can see rejoice you NOT

Mind you, above the being has risen with Right

Are you where now; why all the brag, thought you the key to life

I’m sure in between the space of ever nice Rose

Shame on you! Coward why comes you in the dark with
