Judgement
A mangled fence
Sits upon a decorated land
Held together with nothing more
Than, twigs and wire
Rusty nails and screws
But as you look upon
The house that sits within
The fence you are bound
Its protection to the house
Was non-existent,
The inside the house was a death trap
With few floors, and shallow walls
Cold that seeps through the cracks
For inside the house stood an antique
Worth many times its protection
For inside this house stood a spirit deprived
