Why should I recite a poem? When poems do not make the point Why should I sing a lullaby? When you cannot make gold of columbite Please pardon these stream of senseless sentences    Why should I wear the baby a bib? When there is no food, not a bit Why should I plant and not water rose? And yet anticipate it grows Trust me prayers pay side by side practice    Why should I tell tales of times untold? When time –the teller- never told Why should I curse, condemn and crucify the crown? When the crown is another’s clown Please forgive me for my rhymes are full of follies    Haven’t these ills been told by many? Yet those a-thrones do not give a penny? Havent these been written in poetry plays? Played on the crown who laughs and pays Ah, the human heart is hardened    Will we ever change this attitude? And put an end to this servitude Would that not put an end to this penurious life? And make men once again well-wife Once was life, now it is just strife    I wish we will live another once.
