How can I call you
my next of kin
if I’m the element
of hate?
I was the root, the seed,
the germ of an envy.
My presence was terrible
than troubles.
How can a child
blamed for something
bad that he did not
commit?
I was the element of hate,
the root, the seed, the germ
of one jealousy that triggered
a big home.
