The face
You claim,
Burns now
Palpably lame,
In a scarlet state
Finds suffer blame,
With skin ablaze
Head bows in shame,
Thus so observed
Begs fool indifferent,
Holds look aflame
From face to face
In sun’s day feed,
Be a crimson place
That wants destroy,
Yet gives of life
Save when exceeds,
Man chooses fail to heed!
