Reflections and Shadows

Caution

Judge my thoughts by length of days,

find yourself misled.

Look down on my sorrows because of the innocence of my soul,

find yourself foolish.

Your spite brings blindness to my eyes.

Your scorn sets my veins on fire.

Your righteousness makes my teeth gnash.

A bad attitude will serve you well in the lion's den,

yet the outcome will not change.

The lion sleeps with a full belly.

Strike! Wield your destructive force!

The gates of fury are bulging!

Save yourself.

Do not wound, deal your death blow!

Do not hold back!

Save us both.
