WHO AM I ?

You can’t know me nor can vie with me,

O chameleon !

I change my pigment

            faster than you.

Who am I ? Guess.

You scorpion ! Swell not for thy sting,

My stinging pains mind along with body.

            Poets have gone mad

To find an art to know me, but in vain

.

Venomous and violent creatures,

I am the cruelest. The desperate.

I am happy when you aren’t,

I laugh when you suffer.

            I hurt, harm, misguide, mislead,

                        bite, beat, cut or kill

Guess, who am I ?

Not a creature

But an articulate, expert man ???
