A thing around you!

Wrapped closely and tightly,

Round your tiny finger are thoughts,
Round your little finger are opinion said and unsaid, 

Just squared of thoughts,

Rather whispering of gossips,

Laced up your tiny finger,

With you dictating tunes of war,

 An instrument as good as you,

'As you said you run the world’, in your tiny mind 

Wrapping all to tiny finger of power,

 your unsavoury talent,

A little here, a little there,

of gossip and snitching, happily sandwiching all,

Round your tiny finger are your withered dreams,

 Your uninspired aspiration, Your vent of others' success,

With your crooked finger angled by haunting and 

Taunting dreams,

With wrinkles dragged of your tired face,

With wrinkles dragged of your tired life,

And faded patches of your chimney self

Wake up! Wake up!! There is more to life than this.
