To spilling poisonous words
Of a selfish fool
When you needed silent care
To help you fight your nightmare

But you have destroyed the much
Thus you make chaos
You say that you are guiltless
All the others have made this.

Rhymed Review On Lolita By Vladimir Nabokov

In truth Clare Quilty 
Was clearly guilty, 
While humble Humbert Humbert 
Was fervently pervert. 
The issue to talk of 
What told us Nabokov ?

Sent for division, not peace
Giving His sentence,

He is not guilty.
But as blood drips from his blade,
He cries out for life.
