A stranger though he is
She weeps for him day and night,
A young fool she is,
To weep for him day and night.
This man though he knows
Has ruined her life so effortlessly.
Young and foolish she may be,
The pity she holds towards him, nothing but bravery.
It may not be his fault,
An invention he may just be
The power he reigns on humans today,
A power so strong indeed.
She sees through the coat of lies
Yet she is only a girl of five,
This man in endless forms he appears-
The screen that has made her loved ones go blind.
A man that lives in every part of town,
A messenger who carries so much pain around
So many secrets are in his grasp
So many lives are in his hand,
Yet there is nothing she can do
A hopeless soul lingers in her
Her only way of battling through this
Is weeping for him day and night.
