Poem
or A COFFER OR A COFFIN “Rage on,” my friend said unto me “Guard what’s yours with urgency For walls can be scaled by scoundrels and enter your domain So keep a steady eye on what treasures you were blessed to own Small trinkets of gold or a large diamond ring never allow a stranger to lodge with you or accept that which he may bring Lest your coffer be missing when sister sun shines in a criminal’s eyes Be wise and wizened by wisdom wrought of rightful indignation And let no man diminish you nor cause ye somewhere to surrepticiusly hide Avoiid not the fact for every man to know where you alone can be found with armaments for destruction, devastation and all out war be yours Allow the will of your castle never to be denied As you hide not the pride you feel inside And grow greater from all the grief Stand stagnant ready to be relegated to belief The fact that no man is unable to protect himself if be he armed with confidence The necessary weapon that will bring his enemies down And the conviction akin to the rosacution seen within his glare With a countenance of strength For you were birthed, born, made, created, and molded by the steady hand of the overlord of our universe So suffer no man’s ill will nor any fruitless curse And as unfolds your destiny decided long ago No matter what the masses may say I say, Rage on my friend Because to you I might seem very kind But turn your back on my shadow and I’ll rob your f******g castle blind (2011.….Poefree
