IT IS ALL AIR
..And I have heard a lot about your greed,
That you would slaughter someone for a cent;
You’re putting air into a pail, indeed,
And paying a grim piece; your life is meant.
**
A LIAR
The people know you lie, yet you remain
The same, you would not change your present state;
When you inhale, the blow of air has doubts,
When you exhale. Truth's seas evaporate.
**
A NIGHTINGALE
O nightingale, you have a lovely voice
When to the garden you then choose to fly;
Your sweet song echoes in the valleys, and
Your tune lights up and brightens all the sky.
**
A CHAMELEON
Prepare a rod for your son, and then say,
“Behave, be not like a chameleon”
It would be better to cut him in bits
Than subject him to vile condemnation.
**
I LOVE YOU
Why is the war now stealing you from me
And planting all the sighs within my heart?
No one can keep you from me, I love you
As much as the sky that sets us apart.
**
A VILLAIN
You are a villain killing little ones,
A district-leader, the source of all sin;
I swear to God and all prophets that we
Can build lands from your grave-stones to begin.
**
IT IS BETTER FOR YOU
You would be better single than be wed,
You can no longer trust a woman who
You give to her your heart, your misery
Will make her whinge, and graceless she leaves you.
**
YOU ARE THE INSPIRATION
My sheer discarding of all women makes
You angry, those I once gave flowers, you
Who are my eyes, my paradise, and then
Inspiring a million verses too.
