In the darkness of an evening
Nascent was I just on earth
Endured with pain were you there on
Ready to brook further long

Painful was I allthrough my teens
An arrogant snob much I haunted you
Harsh words, raged anguish...
Unaware of defiling myself

Passed twenty despicable did I grow
To placate my lust got me married
My incited lousiness, was my wife stamped
Dilemmatic became the children

Brainless became worthless into a jobless
Wordless was I in my benighted abyss
Drunkard became penniless, lately realised
Muddled in isolation when fifty

Fearful sins in a cold-sweat frightened me
Endearment, much longed by me
Disregarded although you favoured me
Forgiving, forgetting... still love me mamma?
