Why Do You Curse My Children

Why do you curse me now? You smeared me with rotten words You spoke with your mouth That may all my children be like me How could you wish me that? Why this bitterness now? Why, surely, all the children? To be like me This useless! To be like me Why do you condemn My innocent children To such a life? A stained life Never, Never, Never You must eat those evil words You have polluted my future My children a treasure to me They should not be like me Try someone else Who? Who on earth Who on earth would want To be anything close to me? Unkind, unreasonable, uncouth A complete waste of space A bulletproof idiot I will not I will not sit I will not sit back And watch you finish My whole generation. Why me? While like me? A resolute reprobate Why not you? or even And other eco-friendly people Roaming this earth Apologize. Apologize, I swear Apologize before I unleash The worst of me Stop your curses.
