Contentious issues evade hail,

Actor human exhibits colorful,

Underneath life belie beautiful, (1)

Equal and opposite view sight,

Confused human mind visible,

Deception condition plausible, (2)

 

Endless complexity, ambiguity,

Ambiguous spirit, in disparity,

Reason desire, link aspiration,

Separately honesty distinction, (3)

 

Mixture nature shows contrast,

Fearful within ferocious intact,

Dreary desert cactus conserve,

Precious water thorn protector, (4)

Fearful within for life and miss,

Animals bear color stripes a lot,

Fearfully change color to revert, (5)

Humans acquire the art of the trickster,

Motive mischievous cheat actor, (6)

Axed by time, sickness, life mad,

Humans suffered eliminate, say,

Invisible wire cage prisons way, (9)

 

Dark chamber from society sad,

Lost freedom, happiness, reward,

Surmised everything, consoled,

The Lord is merciful duly mold, (10)

 

Before breathing last realizes it,

the trickster practices lifelong cheating,

Cheated only precious life pray,

Forgive me, O Lord, death prey. (11)
