Analysis of All You Need To Tell Me.



All you need to tell me;
Tell me the famous man you know.
Is he God or the Devil?
Oh' what famous woman he married;
Is she an angel or a human?
Tell me the richer man you know;

Is he a president or a teacher?
Oh' what strongest creature you know;
Is it the violent one or the non-violent?
Tell me, why a lawyer seeks:
What is so called-evident?
Tell me, who wins enough;

The lover or the hater?
A lover breaks no laws, does the hater;
Tell me, why the world's so rough?
Tell me, who stole the smooth quality;
conspired and made it tough?
Could it have been the one;

who carries rock to top of the hill,
in an attempt to let it roll back to the foot?
Tell me, could it have been the one;
who moves backward to the hill,
in an attempt to see the mist afoot still?
Tell me, all you need to tell me first.

I made poetry my legacy. In the course of logic, I am an authentic! A commander of Free Poetic Legacy.
