A REQUEST
Wretch,
Why frown at
The start of
A new dawn
When a smile
Will go
A long way
In making your
Day?
Wretch,
You do not
Ever spare a
Thought to others
But yourself
Selfish and demanding
In every way...
Wretch,
I see you plotting
And scheming
Menacingly
If only to be
Included
In another's feeling!
Oh Wretch,
Why does it
Have to be
You always first
The rest be damned?
Wretch,
Do you not
Know,
The label you
Put on others
Merely shows
What you
Think and feel
Of your own self?
Why Wretch,
Do you choose
To be in such
Wretchedness
When you can be
In no conflict but
In totally harmony
With your surroundings?
Wretch,
Think we'll on this...!
