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 nor accept what 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 hide
Hide not the fact for every man to know where you 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 weapons that will bring his enemies down
And the conviction nurtured by his eyes
With a countenance of strength
For you were birthed, born, made, created, and molded by the steady hand of our
overlord of this universe
So suffer no man’s ill will nor any fruitless curse
And as unfolds your destiny which was 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 even my shadow
and I’ll rob your f******g castle blind
