Cry me a river.
Cry me a river in a shiver
For I have paid treachery dues
Refusing to yield to subtle cries from those who cared
And living like the world was a fancy club
Worshipping alcohol and weed
While reveling in touches of unknown hands
Fearing nothing, hearing no reason and seeing no good
Cry me a river
Cry me a river in a shiver
For I was made to pay pain dues
Stripped of a mother,
Stripped of a father, both by death and
Kicked into the abyss of foolery by shock
While poverty whips with a full-fledged metal with thirsty needles
As my visitors; hunger and thirst, forced my hand to sign the agreement of tenancy
Cry me a river.
Cry me a river in a shiver
For I have paid suffering dues
Raped by the eyes of doubts and suspicion
Slapped by the fountain of hatred
Rebuked and hated by percentages of blood which flows through my veins
As rains of despair clogged my lungs
Like the closed gates of Satan
Cry me a river
Cry me a river in a shiver
For I have paid trial dues
Taken advantage of by hands of no sympathy,
Working in the fuming rain,
Trembling in the raging storm,
As affording souls snore in bosoms of rest
In my quest to my competency prove
Cry me a river
Cry me a river in a shiver
For I have paid cast-away dues
Thrown out like a bag of defecation.
Removed like an inexpensive different fabric sewn and unsewn
And thrown into a burning brim fire,
Saved untimely, leaving this heartache of tending to un-healable wounds
In the full glare of all under the sky, as flies jubilate in keeping me company
So cry me a river.
Cry me a river in a shiver
As you learn from my gaffes.
Cry me a river with thoughts of your lives’ reforming
Clearing your hearts of flimsy transient worldly happiness
While listening to reason.
Treasure lives with open hearts
And love every moment of laughter.
