Stop flirting with my shadow...

Stop flirting with my shadow...
Yes! you heard me right,
I said stop flirting with my shadow...

You got windows to break,
You say,you kill for god's sake...
You slither like a night snake...
Yet...
Yet you won't stop flirting with my shadow...

You may have got greener meadows,
we may have greater widows...
You may laugh at my misery,
you smirk at my pain...
Yes,don't pretend!

Don't call me your brother,
and my children your nephews and nieces,
when you but did kill their mother...

Yes,you have taller buildings,
I know that,I too can see...
You may have taller buildings,
We may have longer queues...

Yes,this is all means is alright,
but stop flirting with my shadow...

You may want my diamonds,
to gift your pretty wife...
You take that diamond,
which shall in time be black...

You take it away, from my hands,
and I pay the price with my life...
So,for now at least,
stop flirting with my shadow...

You may laugh at my lot...
You may end some of us...
But know one thing child,
you have come from us...

I forgive your sins,
I forget your claims...
I close my eyes,
to the pain that remains...

Now my children are crying,
bullied by your lot...
I need to help them,
so leave me be...

I say this again,
though I am dead and gone....
Stop flirting with my shadow...
