Why We Curse
We're always in a hurry,
The reason why we curse.
Some of us in a scurry
Becoming so subverse
Curse our parents and siblings;
We curse our loss and search.
We curse our spouses and children;
We curse even God and church,
And we never get better
Because we get worse.
And some of us quick to worry
Becoming so adverse
Curse our friends and rulers;
We curse our death and birth;
We curse our present, past, future;
We curse even heaven and earth.
So, we never can get better
For getting worse;
We are always in a hurry,
The reason why we curse.
