As Saturated Earth Bids Me Adieu
As Saturated Earth Bids Me Adieu
As saturated earth bids me adieu
Angry moon spat out darken, molded cheese
There, prisoner in chains, thinking of you
My evil captors doing what they please.
Wicked lateral cuts gracing my arms
Damn cratered knots all over my head
That gypsy sold me a bag of dark charms
He was hoping that soon I would be dead.
What a trip to the old dark continent
Now I understand what warnings were about
Those ignored, thinking my shield was resilient
I went to scream but hell nothing came out.
What was this beast rising from the bare ground
Its immense strength and power off the charts
Its vicious roar, such a terrifying sound
Evil lair, I saw bloody body parts!
Next I recall, a voice said its a dream
You my sleeping friend, rise from your night bed
I will aid you, we will fight as a team
You and I shall slay the black beast instead.
Off damn alarm goes, nothing decided.
Could not use ray gun I was provided.
Robert J. Lindley, 22 Dark verse rhyme.
April 21st , 1972
Note:
"I wage battles in my ballooning head
My soul, its venom so gaily spilled
In my first vow, I kill dark beasts instead
Lost count, must have been a thousand I killed." RJL
