Attachments hurt through and through, I finally start to cotton on
In the world of perfidious lovers who to not and who to trust upon?
Deceit is modern men’s hallmark and they are Janus-faced to the hilt
Cheating is routine affair yet they carry no guilt
Why does u ask me why you prefer not to trust earthling?
By the time you wake up, let me caution you that their knack for breaking trust, is woefully sterling
Why I forewarn you is because to live a life you need to buddy up with humankind
While picking your friends, prithee, don’t act blind
While I am falling short of words loud my inner is shrieking
Verse-making is like oiling the hinges of my heart to stop it squeaking
This man who wields authority doesn’t lend the needy succour
While judges hold kangaroo courts, doctors have turned butcher
Why this eccentricity if you were not created to be like this
Between what you were supposed to be and what you are is a colossal abyss
