Village

Village Village, Dwellings of brick and stone, Eclectic styles with greener grass. Cobblestones and glass windows, Hidden truths behind closed doors. Banker, Shrewd abstract thinker, Disdains those considered inferior. Petitions order and obedience, Capitalizes coins to promote dignity. Butcher, Proponent of meat, Cuts and slices remorseless. Shamelessly promotes false cuts, Blade sharp, yet serrated. Baker, Reserved and disciplined, Hot ovens scorch bread. Concerns himself with rising dough, A clouded vision of flour. Seamstress, Premeditative patterns of gold, Commoners enjoy 'faux' creations. Darns calculated and devious, Spins and weaves while cutting cloth. Teacher, Divinity of life lessons, Educator of consequences. Continuous support and encouragement, Leads by example. Every Village has a home.... Every Home has its village.
