it is full of pain and hurt,
because, of all the names and phrases
of this mortal world,
there is only one that I hate
more than any other,
and this most disgusting term
is the one of "Mother".
Maybe this is the saddest story,
it is full of pain and hurt,
because, of all the names and phrases
of this mortal world,
there is only one that I fear
more than any other,
and this most terrifying term
is the one of "Mother".
