Trembling Hands, Coveting Mind
One man able to do a bad stuff
toss the coin, the side that is with a flaw
gets the hand to be tied in a cuff
to stop the bad wine to pour more and more
the red sign from this lad now goes off
deed not dead, open is this cruel door
‘mend your ways’ from the law but he rebuffs
the tree of good he cuts with two chain-saws
his woe may come from peer fun as they flex
or the ‘boy and girl’ sin of drug and sex
or also from a mind so fast to vex
on a mask and with guns to raid a house
red and gold kiss the mind to take the blouse
but all puts the flog near the sick mouse.
