1955

I am a prophet of peace,
A procurer of leaves; 
Catcher of breeze.
Visions of thieves?
No such disease
I live in the trees.
Free from taxes and fees. 
Share it with me?
Comparatively, believe
unless you're bereaved
to heave
a shiv
into thine rift
of sand that sifts.
I do uplift
my fist
to the outspoken
of wrist
to tap, even if a twit,
on this pit,
the internet skit.
