Shame


a jittery sound
makes the virtues drown
a slippery ground
rests the successor's crown

and
the brook keeps taking birth from the puddle

a felony voiced
moans the unheard noise
a desire poised
casts the doomed choice

and
the crook keeps cursing the cuddle



[may wrath befall those spineless creatures who forget 'eir mum's nurture as a child, 'eir dame's love as gift of a girl-child -- who think success only comes in the form of a boy, an able successor...]
