Tears of Orphan
Tears of an Orphan
is sorcery and black magic
that brings down the insolent
Laughter of an orphan
is fresh rain from the sky
that waters gardens of the kind
Those who torture the tortured
Those insult the worldly insulted
prepare oven by piling wood
where their blessing will burn
and burn, and burn uncontrolled
until they wake up in ashes
of destruction and gloom
By then, too late!
