Chief rhyme with thief
How the former gets kowtowed
Like a god with goodies for the submissive
And the latter risks harsh death
Like rival goats which are destructive
Beats me, beats me
II
Bow rhymes with bow
How one serves as a weapon
To take lives and used for hunt
And the other gives respect
Swelling heads and stroking egos
Beats me, beats me
III
Earth rhymes with death
How the former is mortal
Like a mountain huge and strong
And the latter ridicules mortality
Like a fly seeing a wound
Beats me, beats me
IV
Words are nothing but ridiculous sounds
Twisting minds and creating bounds
Bounds which clash and confuse in rounds
Rhyme the dime but climb the time
Peek and see words as the boo
