The more they deplore, attempt to destroy
* * *
The more they imprison, crush or trash
The more I delight, hold dear and revere
* * *
The more they smash, sever or detach
I will kiss it better, wholeheartedly embrace
* * *

Do as you please, choose evil be vile
Break me, you will never… shake me you will fail
* * *

* * *
My inexplicable verve -driving you insane, is not of my own
