Those big eyes,
a look so innocent;
a first sight of this pit
mothers beautiful smile,
everything so colourful,
a perfect peace, bliss;
a beautiful face, so sweet
no infestation of the disease, sin;
but eggs are just eggs
till one hatches birds, the other snakes;
how else will you know
human beasts were once harmless kids!

a bringing up, full of love
a mothers heart, holds nothing back
there's no next time
she gives all she can give;
but a kid can be rich at heart
and have a twisted mind;
so, you still ask
how human beings become beasts!?
violence is not a thing of genes
it's a feeling you choose to have;
so no parent can take the blame
of her once harmless kid
turned, a fractious beast.
