Puzzle Pieces
April 2, 2016
I do not like human beings
I neither enjoy the or company
nor their many schemes
To be fond of these beings
is a hell-bound curse
-the ender of dreams
They have many a custom
these rapists, these thieves
never on a just rostrum
I have known many to be toads
Less polished, reflections
trailing an empty goad
Others are second pioneers
Led by lust,
upheld by fears
Now I do not enjoy human beings
Yet what shall I do
When they, are me?
