Cannot stand,
\nyet has feet,
\nthroat and mouth,
\nyet can’t eat.<\/p>\n
Has lungs,
\ncannot breathe,
\nlips and tongue,
\ncannot speak.<\/p>\n
In darkness dwells,
\ndoesn’t bite or swallow.
\nHas nose, can’t smell,
\ndoesn’t walk, yet follows.<\/p>\n
Has not life,
\nis not dead.
\nBrings great joy,
\nmakes young lovers wed.<\/p>\n
Has a mind,
\ncan’t discern.
\nDearly loved,
\ncan’t love in return.<\/p>\n
Ever swimming,
\nhas no gills.
\nMakes men’s knees weak,
\nand mothers ill.<\/p>\n
Never wakes,
\nalways dreams.
\nTorn apart,
\nin silent screams.<\/p>\n
Nameless, blind,
\nprecious, frail,
\nvoiceless, sleeping,
\ninnocent, jailed.<\/p>\n
