THE BEAST IN A ROSE

BEAUTY LIKE BEAUTIUL
BEAUTY LIKE ANGELS
BEAUTY LIKE GENTLE FLOWING WATERS
BEAUTY THAT LOOKS AS THOUHG IT IS

IT IS, BUT I CHASED ALL DAYS
IT IS, I RESEARCHED ALL NIGHT
THE OUTSTANDING BEAUTY OF THIS DAMSEL
BUT MY EFFORT LOOKED EFFORTLESS
MY LABOUR LOOKED NOT NOTICED
LIKE FLY THAT PURSUE A LION
LIKE A RAT ASKING A HUNGRY BEAUTIFUL CAT ON A DATE

WHAT A PAGGAGE I COULDN’T WAIT TO UNVAIL
WHAT A MEAL I COULDN’T WAIT TO CONSUME
WHAT A HOUSE I COULDN’T WAIT TO DWELL IN
AS THOUGH MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT

BUT DOES MY LIFE DEPEND ON IT?
ALL FOR A LOAVE OF BREAD
ALL FOR A PLATE OF RICE
ALL FOR A BITE OF CHICKEN

SO I TASTED SWEET AND DELICIOUS
SO I EAT WITHOUT A THOUGHT
LIKE A HUNGRY MAN, I RUSHED INTO THE SLAUGHTER ROOM
I DRANK ALL THE DRINKS OF LOVE

ALL IN EXCHANGE OF MY LIFE
ALL IN EXCHANGE OF MY ……
WHAT A MISTAKE I MADE
BEAUTIFUL ROSE BUT PROTECTED BY THORNES
