I WANT TO SWEEP MY ROOM
Dark and shady
Entering through the door
Fell on my bed lost not knowing what to do
Even though I just enlighten my eye from my retired bed
Lost in my thoughts "What will I do, where will I start from"
While still thinking
I saw a living being run across my door
I shouted Rat Rat
I'm lost not knowing what to do
Took a step to the table picked a knife ready to battle this sworn enemy of mine
I thought to myself
Until I'm no more will I allow a mere rat reside with me in my domain.
Fighting and fighting
I lose all the strength I got.
Weak and lonely for hours
I no longer see this enemy of mine
I sat upon the hill across the room thinking of what to do,
then I heard a loud noise behind my drawer
I moved close and to my surprise I found my enemy fighting for its life from the previous trap I’d set.
I feel lonely and I’ll miss my sworn enemy
The room so rough and dirty
I want to sweep my room
I want to sweep my room, I said
But where will I start from
Dark and shady
I got no strength of my own
While I was still thinking of my action for killing a being
So long my friend, I will see you again in the afterlife
Wait for me
Till we battle again.
