Battled, who' ll inflict the deepest wounds

And smiled and smiled ...and smiled

A life lived well with smile 

Despite the agonising groans

A tiny flower caught in thorns

And even the foresight of Fate

Great many vainglorious glories

Multitudes of incorrigible platitudinal lies 

Cesspool of hard bodies of arrogant pride

Of my forlonness 

That I was all alone 

Even in my own cortege 

Menage a trois

Grand forecourt of ego 

Over the foundations of superego

Mysterious household of three of mind
