Tragedy

TRAGEDY
Shell in thou monster
Bring me not out
Lock me like a snail
But don't kill me in a stake
Lie me not to the ground like slate
But dress me elegantly like the states of Nigeria
Build me up like the coat of arm
Which wears many colours
Shell in thou monster
Till you are ready to shine like a diamond you are.
