Uncontrollable Emotions

Keen the whole lot,

Have you seen Adam’s Eve?

Killing every great-whale

She’s an obvious thumbscrew

Twisting and clogging hearts off service.

An invisible enemy, she’s a friend

Passionate and blinding

Killing all great-whales

With uncontrollable emotions

And a Jurat weakness

Just like law, keen the whole lot.

Acquitted or sentence to death

She’s the jury charges

Hammering desk with pictures

Stamping a gap in the castle walls

She’s a friend, an invisible enemy

As beautiful as garden trees

As tall as those found in moist habitats

Nevertheless,

She’s as vulnerable as fuel.
