Twice around the corner Thrice around the bend, Twisting through contortions Will not make harassment end. Disparagement aside There's a lesson to be learnt, That your overbearing manner Won't prevent you being burnt. The reflection in the mirror Is immaculate and tight, Actuality shows fractures Though they're kept well out of sight. There's a teetering fractiousness, A blemish to your soul And no amount of posturing Will keep the image whole. Your background is impressive And scholastically well placed, Achievement in endeavors Show you've never been disgraced. You're social stature's formidable And your teeth are Oh so white, Then why is it, that you writhe in bed In the small hours of the night ? Why do horrors permeate The milky hue behind your eyes ? What source the irritation When the great majority complies ? What keeps your ego dominant When you see the weakness there, When the light falls on your handiwork And drives you to despair ? Twice around the corner Thrice around the bend, To camouflage your character Shall not make your problems end. Marshalg @theBach on sick leave Mangere Bridge 13 October 2009

Twice Around the Corner
Twice around the corner Thrice around the bend, Twisting through contortions Will not make harassment end. Disparagement aside There's a lesson to be learnt, That your overbearing manner Won't prevent you being burnt. The reflection in the mirror Is immaculate and tight, Actuality shows fractures Though they're kept well out of sight. There's a teetering fractiousness, A blemish to your soul And no amount of posturing Will keep the image whole. Your background is impressive And scholastically well placed, Achievement in endeavors Show you've never been disgraced. You're social stature's formidable And your teeth are Oh so white, Then why is it, that you writhe in bed In the small hours of the night ? Why do horrors permeate The milky hue behind your eyes ? What source the irritation When the great majority complies ? What keeps your ego dominant When you see the weakness there, When the light falls on your handiwork And drives you to despair ? Twice around the corner Thrice around the bend, To camouflage your character Shall not make your problems end. Marshalg @theBach on sick leave Mangere Bridge 13 October 2009
