Riaz
they jeered my freewill and laughed at my core
relentless dictation of life and rules
walking drums more suited to be mere mules
vile eyesore for several days I bore
failed to store cruelty, had to let it pour;
fools hissed at cons, raging molecules;
curses poured in ampoules through my loose stool
no to abhor as I deserve splendor
revenge firmly planted in my aura
thick-leather belts helped tame my relatives
the effect on my spirits, elative;
damp air, better to study The Torah;
a few dirtied their clothes with yellow stains
too bad gains soared at the expense of pains.
About this poem
It is about a young man whose light was dimmed by surrounding relatives.
