This Curse - Henry James
Startled by what he sees
Not knowing what to think
Not knowing what to believe
The trembling he feels
Strickins pain inside
He can't run from his fears
He has no where to hide
'What is this curse
that has fallen on me'
'What did I learn'
What did I see
He knows so little
He suffers so much
He hears every whisper
He feels every touch
Finally he gives in
To whatever he's done
The game still continues
But no one has fun
p- How he doesn't know what the curse is but it is hurting him and then he finally gives in and realizes he did something wrong but life goes on anyways.
c- Strickins, trembling
a- afraid
s-before the last stanza
t- The curse of karma
t- life

"Nobody"
By: Bert Williams
1906
When life seems full of clouds an' rainand I am filled with naught but pain,who soothes my thumpin' bumpin' brain ?Nobody . . . When winter comes with snow an' sleet,and me with hunger and cold feet,who says " Ah, here's two bits, go an' eat!"Nobody . . . I ain't never done nothin' to nobody,I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time!And until I get somethin' from somebody, sometime, I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time! When I try hard an' scheme an' plan,to look as good as I can,who says " Ah, look at that handsome man!"Nobody . . . When all day long things go amiss,and I go home to find some bliss,who hands to me a glowin' kiss?Nobody . . . I ain't never done nothin' to nobody,I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time!And until I get somethin' from somebody, sometime, I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time! Nobody, no time!
