Day by day it grows, like the grasses<br>
A beauty that causes a lot of crises<br>
Beyond it is what no eyes can see!
<p>Young and old gaze at her with passion<br>
The rich wish to possess her in their mansions<br>
For the poor, just seeing her eradicates hunger<br>
But woe to the one she calls her lover!</p>
<p>Numerous hearts has she broken<br>
Those who slept on her laps cannot be woken<br>
She has become the talk of the town<br>
Who will be the next to go down?<!--more--></p>
<p>With her smiles her face glows<br>
But deep within, her heart is closed<br>
Brutal, bitter and full of betrayal<br>
She wishes to witness another burial!</p>
<p>Wickedness she made her favourite garment<br>
Her pretty lips nag every moment<br>
Her beauty has not made her a star<br>
… She only made herself a monster!</p>
