Cantus Firmus & Do you not hate poetry?

How much singularity and uniqueness is there left in this world? When you hear a tune tune you can bet your head when claiming it be unoriginal. Not a lot can be done to improve on that matter. Some ideas 'liberal' will be quenched before being listened to for their unacceptable queerness. What do you live for? Is it really your own wish or are you just forced to go with whatever works best for you?
I wonder, I wonder.. am I the only one seeking to unveil the world beyond that plebeian humane crust? Surely not... Step forth, whores of Babylon.

Do you not hate Poetry?

Do you not hate Poetry for it is more perfect, more beautiful than you?
I know I do. Oh Poetry I am envious of you.

Although, dear Poetry, I must admit I think you are a slut.
It seems to me, that every man uses you as he sees fit.
I know you hang around with girls as well, but I can tell -
you like men more. You obviously are a whore.
You like to stay in bed with me at nights.
But why is it you hide under my pillow while I’m gone?
A strange habit, don’t you think?
Do you mind being written in ink? What is your favourite colour? It is white I think but... Nevertheless, I will write you in black for you are more beautiful than I am
and I hate you.

I have always imagined you are a lady in a fancy dress.
Does it turn you on when I unbutton my shirt?
You’d make an ideal lover I guess.
My dear lady, would it hurt if I stabbed you with a knife?
If I drunk your blood, would your beauty reflect in my face?
In the end I’d be unable to take your life.
Not that I wouldn’t if I could.
But dearest if you stay with me, bear in mind
I don’t dislike older women but,
please do not ever tell me your age.
