Why Do You Curse My Children
Why do you curse me now?
You smeared me with rotten words
You spoke with your mouth
That may all my children be like me
How could you wish me that?
Why this bitterness now?
Why, surely, all the children?
To be like me
This useless!
To be like me
Why do you condemn
My innocent children
To such a life? A stained life
Never, Never, Never
You must eat those evil words
You have polluted my future
My children a treasure to me
They should not be like me
Try someone else
Who?
Who on earth
Who on earth would want
To be anything close to me?
Unkind, unreasonable, uncouth
A complete waste of space
A bulletproof idiot
I will not
I will not sit
I will not sit back
And watch you finish
My whole generation.
Why me? While like me?
A resolute reprobate
Why not you? or even
And other eco-friendly people
Roaming this earth
Apologize.
Apologize, I swear
Apologize before I unleash
The worst of me
Stop your curses.
