A Beggar's Lullaby
Life is as inviting
As she is intense,
But don't be put off
By her indifference.
She will make us all martyrs
Before we're left diminished;
Leading us to slaughter
As we bask in our innocence.
So fear not her wrath,
For she is not shrill.
Their only directive is to ****;
Live before you've had your fill.
