Analysis of Riaz



they jeered my freewill and laughed at my core A

relentless dictation of life and rules B

walking drums more suited to be mere mules B

vile eyesore for several days I bore A

failed to store cruelty, had to let it pour; A

fools hissed at cons, raging molecules; B

curses poured in ampoules through my loose stool X

no to abhor as I deserve splendor X

revenge firmly planted in my aura C

thick-leather belts helped tame my relatives X

the effect on my spirits, elative; X

damp air, better to study The Torah; C

a few dirtied their clothes with yellow stains D

too bad gains soared at the expense of pains. D
