Why Revile Them?

Please tell me, why do you love to curse them?

Then why do all your words pierce the heart?

They rumor that you scold magnificently & loudly.

Well, it hurts and penetrates their hearts.

If you don't like to, why stir up such resentment?

Can't you hold back just a bit, can't you wait?

What? I don't like cursing anybody at all!

How can they pierce if the heart is good?

Only dirty minded souls think such a thing!

Those who eat lime will always get heartburn!

They're in hopeless trouble already, so I strike!

When else do you beat iron but when it's still soft!
