Bamboozlement

Bamboozlement, a joy to thy heart And thou gloat at their misfortunes Maliciously misleading them with tricks Bury this private property, a plea Otherwise, you'll earn thy pay in full One's joy comes from good wishes Zap thy zest for schadenfreude Let go of those wanton moral filths Embrace the joy from good wishes Maintain my moral message and Enjoy big in a little planet Never should thou forget The day of thy sepulchre sleep

What a great word "Schandenfreude" the meaning in itself is a poem. Sadly I know people who do take pleasure in others misfortune.
