Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Rhyme

Still Bad Enough

I am not a bad man,
Just not as good as I can.

I can only think of no one but me
Beyond my needs I hardly see,
I fought hard and dirty to win
And pray just enough for my sins,

I am not a bad man,
Just not as good as I can.

Why wouldn’t I for me alone live?
So does everyone else, I believe,
By Jove, didn’t I live a tough life?
Grant me the joy of a kindred wife.

I am not a bad man,
Just not as good as I can.
