A lover's complaint
I basically lived for my idealismthroughout my life in earnest and fidelity
and somehow always was rebuked
and punished for my honest efforts,
as the more I worked and harder I produced,
the more severely I was punished,
being thrown out of society and school
for being serious about my vocation
and perhaps for being over-active in my diligence,
and now even locked out with small chance of a return
from facebook, for an unintended nipple,
in the notorious Facebook nipple witch hunt.
Isn't it ridiculous? Still I will go on loving,
sticking to my earnestness and good intentions
and will not fall out because of some stupidity,
as nothing is more meritorious for the knowledgeable ones
than the acknowledgement of ignorance condemning you to exile.
