***

Your anguish wasn't seen till now -
When our indifference did bow
It to a rough and painful burst,
By each one's reckless rancor nursed.
You couldn't hold it anymore,
Your heart worn out and mind got sore,
You barely lived - and no one cared -
Yet each one cares since it have flared
And each's attention is now paid -
Yet not to heal, they seek to bait
You, "such a wrong insane scum",
And curse in You a little crumb
Of vice that they abound and sow
In You and now crave it to grow,
And blame Your needy cornered state,
Born of their own rude, blind hate
And dumb indifference that drains
You, adding salt into Your pains
And putting You in heavier chains! -
This is how You are getting aid!
  O, I do hope I'm not too late -
  The salt deep in Your heart of lead
  I sense and wish to give You sweet
  Of fellow's understanding soul -
  Let's sit down here to hide from all.

Yet not to heal, they seek to bait
You, "such a wrong insane scum",
And curse in You a little crumb
Of vice that they abound and sow
In You and crave it now to grow!

You, "such a wrong insane fiend",
And curse the vice with which they're teemed!
