Feeding the worm
Who do I blame 
Because down 
At last by time,
Here under the with girl and thief,
Who do I blame?
Mother blame 
Whose loving crime 
Moulded my form 
Within her womb,
Who gave me life and then grave,
Mother I blame.
Here is her labour’s end,
limb and mind,
All love and sweat 
Gone to rot.
I am man’s reply to every question,
aim and destination.
