Callow

CALLOW

Eyes laugh when they hear you speak,

Tears drool down your fingertips.

Find that you lose what you keep,

Remember to blink in your sleep.

Extinguish the fire to make it brighter,

Cut your wings so you fly much higher,

Frown more so you seem nicer,

Stuff your belly and get lighter.

Bring a dagger to a firing range,

Constantly mutate but do not change,

Dominos fall when they are arranged,

Time ticks and you thought it’s strange.

Drown yourself in air,

Donate but do not care,

Religious but love to swear,

Say you’re strong but cannot bear.

Careless, childish, shallow, callow!

The world waits not for such a fellow!
