Lesson

He was in chains all night

But not in pain all time

Every movement cost him his skin

Bare flesh could be seen

Until he learnt the rules -

He brought his own punishment

They starved him three days

He saw a mango descend

He forgot he was in chains

He tried to stand up, he lost his finger

Until he learnt the principles -

He brought his own punishment

Today you are deceived

By a friend you love so dear

Tomorrow another comes

You forget about the hurt

Until you truly understand

You prepare your own tears
