Decency and propriety
Have been missing in my life
Ever since I left Sri Lanka
Really so much strife
Vindictiveness and spitefulness
The circus and the zoo
Lack of appreciation
Its shameful was some do

Morality and ethicality
Was just no where
I did my stint at being me
The right minded were never there
The circus is a den of vice
Where the criminally insane
Disrespected and were culpable
Of torturing me again

My arthritic legs
They pummelled
Created so much pain
They tortured me
for many nights
I cried inside
Sobbed incessantly
I wanted to retaliate
To lay them out and crush
I just took the bashing anyway
Yes I took it flush

Many night so crippled
I couldnt sleep at all
Getting up the next day
The pain it did appal
Rules and regulations
Poetic mustice they
Beat me how they hurt me
Really made me pay

I will never trust the circus people
There is no morality
They are nasty they are vengeful
And discriminatory
I do so need an ele friend
I am privileged to say
Assignable and prescriptive
Its now right in every way

Its an ethical investment
They are duty bound to try
To now fulfill their duty
Underneath the sky
Being so uncooperative
Saying I am too frail
Deciding in their selfish way
To tell a pitiful tale

They humiliate my dignity
Offhanded in their way
Leaving me in this game park
Every single day
Gawped at by the zombies
Pumping out the lead
Polluting me with hydrocarbons
That just do my head

In and bugger up my breathing
Their contemptuousness
The last few years I need to go
To France let more be less
They have agreed to take me
Its a blessing in disguise
I go with grace and favour
With the reddest of sore eyes

Here there is little integrity
The guilty come and go
Transgressions and misdemeanours
All seem part of the flow
I really am st a loss here
Uneasy as to how
I can go on going on
And live in the now
