Uniform Tangle

So I see how cruel life may be in a minute, All around people’s faces gleam & glare At my gloomy face but never see my net. And I cry and cry and cry to get ‘em fair. From times past, I knew of what may be The finale of this sweet short time gained; But now it comes with great dismay, to me. With thoughts of melancholy stained. Am losing my job to my brother, I teach him my work as a father Does to his sons and to the other, He knows not my hearts as they gather. They give a life, a life they can’t retain, They offer me a choice, a choice not mine; They lead me to the grave, to bury me and the ten; But they in turn smile and smile as they dine And so I see that they are not to be The people I perceive may little see, My serene into whirlwind occur to me At a peek and glaze and short see. Whatever the Asian will decide, However I cope with them all, I implore all the good to side With me as evil entirely will fall.
