Poison

Substance with death plan or harm, To recover from it Luck’s charm; Planter taker has lost his farm, Not likely to help ‘Raised Alarm’. In one’s bowel begins its strike, All good organs poison dislike; Doctor fetched with the quickest bike One should not with poison self spike… Some poison through in a minute Their wasting strength quite infinite: Who solves problems with one nitwit; He has his own very throat slit! Poison could permit life hours, Time giving one to watch flowers; As the plagues of effect tower, Quick transfer to Airy bower… Death from poison often trauma Privileged eyes watch a drama The eloquent takers stammer While being hit by brutish hammer: Some figure bent double squawking Or trying last-minute walking; A clear attempt to keep talking Like hunters down but not stalking… Poison for foes formidable: The reason for it credible; Often loud a killing gunshot, Ears would it hear exposed your plot…
