Nature

Nature left it, said and did they also

A life unspoken, a life unchosen

Hope expected, hope exempted

Ashes for beauty, none gotten, always forgotten

Laughter for tears, all ’em years, no ears

Upright all right, none left alright

Tried all day, did all night

Caught up, brought up?

Shaken, shaken!

Taken, stolen

Knocked down, knocked out

Deserved, unpreserved

Worth what, worth not

Out and about, all but around

present, absent

present, preempt

attempt, abort

chained, unchanged

speak, shout, loud silence

burrow, sorrow

’morrow, no more

borrow, say no

hurry, bye now

ooh feast, no fists

crazy, crazy

mazy, fuzzy

Red pill, blue pill

Now now, it’s time

Choose then, or else

Pray, prey

Devout, devour

Risk, frisk

Priest, prick

Meek, weak

Water, wine

Spine, fine

Criss, cross

Sick, prick
