Strange Powers Within
anybody anywhere on earth
she hooks with broken smiles
arms dressed in smooth gloves
those hateful of toothpaste
beings with sweet mouths
the ones with loose belts
impostors of world wealth
individuals with dirty hands
holy and honest persons
even the playboys of streets
all persuade and elope her
into their huts she goes
and you see her resting
in their beds, lounges
cooking delicious meals
for the nobodies to feast
as darkness eats her up
and she smiles due to that
strange powers within
and everybody wonders
