Love

Check all views, others may not view,

Via a long route, even to the roots

Say to your father, “I want some bad manners”

Say to your Friend, “I want to be a fiend”

Ask from thugs, how to grow tough

Bring cheats and tricks that leak

Your tricks and cheats are not but risks

All these, are to show your love for me

This is all I think

I’ll always love your ways no matter the delay

You are the matter that matters!

I love you!
