Stuck With a Bad Rap

Hidden in the many water drops
gargling echoes from the dark is why
once considered white but now it’s not
welcoming death teaching the ground to cry
receiving the bad raps it’s not without a cause
thoughts memories fly not returning from the land
amidst Viking’s no stranger of battle or death’s paws
Valkyries’ breath tasting bloody pawns that no longer stand
A lovers tattletale in likeness doctors fill their face with lavender
talking in famine and war feeding a prophet is but one chore
next to the queen’s in power setting in the towers a scavenger
