Allan Terry Poet Ballad

Anticipated Consequences

THEY SPEAK HIM AS UNLIKELY
THEY WISH HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS
 WERE SOILED, AND HIM BRUISED
SO THAT THEY COULD CLAIM
 HIS WORKS AS THEIR OWN
REALMS OF FRIENDS
SPEAK THEM AS YOUR ENEMY
THAT THEY MIGHT FRIGHT
AND FEAR THE POSSIBILITIES
THEN THEY SHALL CRAWL AND BEG
THE BREADS OF THEIR LABOR
SHALL BE LOAVES
UPON MY TABLE
THAT I MIGHT OFFER THEM 
WHAT THEY HAVE CHORED TO CREATE.
THE GRIM OF THE BODY'S
SHALL BE SOILS FOR SEEDS OF DOUBT
THERE LABORS SHALL BE WORKS
OF MORTALS
THAT THEY MIGHT SEE ME AS GOD
WITH WORKS
THEY SHALL WONDER HOW WERE DONE
