Please Sir, can I have some more?

More of your unrelenting trudgery

As you frown upon my persistent existence.

More of your salivatious envy

Every time you look my way.

Please Sir, can I have some more?

More of your inhumane thoughts

Directed at my being.

More of your spittle-laced utterings

Of ill will with which you think to scorch me.

Please Sir, can I have some more?

More of the hatred brewing within you.

And in return…

For all the ill you wish upon me

I turn to love.

Please Sir, can I have some more?

Don’t you see?

You cannot harm me

I am secure in my being
