Empty Cup

EMPTY CUP Oh! Empty cup On a saucer, you do sit, All alone In a cruel, cruel world, That has made you Have this feeling of rejection And made to feel all dirty And stained and gutted too! Oh! Empty cup Not that long ago Was when sweet lips Savoured the pleasure Of the offering you gave, Because you satisfied, You warmed, You imparted Pure pleasure to the receiver. Oh! Empty cup, You gave all of yourself, You were drained, You’re all empty now, You’re all alone You feel so unwanted And totally rejected too, Oh! Empty cup In a rack with your friends Until the next time When you supply the need Of someone passing by Who will use you Who will abuse you, Then cast you aside Again and again and again…
