READ MY LIPS!!


Vultures patching on political clouds…not bothered by underdog weights!
God gracious! How grand are your heavenly gates!
Blood-stained claws thirsty for human meat…milking dry your Earthly mates!
Menus void of world’s bitter herbs…delicacies dance in your silver plates!
Sparkling tail winking to sexy stars…the wingless used as roller- skates!
BUT read my lips! Clouds will cry…
… and their tears will poison your heartless traits!

A rebel bee cruising in the dark…gulping nectar from flowers of the night!
Buzzing sound unheard……a noisy stealth of a rogue Knight!
Succulent leaves wildly caressed…fruits crashed and devoured with might!
Big-eyed darkness ever laments… for buds you nip with evil delight!
Restless tongue oiled with words….preys skinned without a fight!
BUT read my lips! Darkness will burn…
…and its smokes will curse your blinded sight!

A helpless cockroach sitting on its back…. legs imploring an ear-less air!
Struggling wings strangled in mud…escape walls all thin as hair!
Waterless rains cease not to pound…..stirring with joy pepper-dust despair!
Scented flowers for nostrils to lust…igniting flames of starved love affair!
Starch-less bread baked with sandy flour…..teeth muttering mute for a life damn unfair!
BUT read my lip! The Sun will smile…
…and its rays will brighten your freedom Stair!

 ...whether you are a Sky Dragon, a Night Snake, or an Innocent Slave.....life will never rest until your dragon tongue is cut....your poisonous fangs are uprooted......and your your bruised soul is restored.....nothing..nothing...in this world...lasts forever....our world never forgets to punish...to a shame...and  to reward where it is due...READ MY LIPS!
