                        my humble poet

                        my humble poet
                        your poem says
                        rape, witchcraft
                        stealing, murder
                        is artistic beauty

                        come to prisons
                        my humble poet
                        grace of miseries
                        orient their minds
                        than artistic adorn

                        my humble poet
                        your poem says
                        scorpions, snakes
                        jackals, inanities
                        poisons, gossips
                        vices, whores were
                        bedecking our life

                        come to my land
                        my humble poet
                        scorpions, snakes
                        jackals, inanities
                        poisons, gossips 
                        vices, whores, were
                        paths to heaven

                        my humble poet
                        your poem says
                        come to loneliness
                        come to emptiness
                        let abandon life's
                        boons and banes
                        to vast our woes 

                        come to my land
                        my humble poet
                        your kind is rare
                        you'll be a device
                        to our retrograde
                        your poem shall
                        be use as a manual

                        my humble poet
                        teach me poetry
                        to lie to myself 
                        please take me
                        into your dearest
                        dread than poetry
                        i am not here sir
                        i just exist here
