Dust
Descriptive voices get louder
While likening dust to powder,
Evangelizing ones in a sermon.
Proclaiming it ‘A summon’
The prettily molded man is dust
To all early and late –arriving corpses, a must,
Worse dust, the one obsessed with lust.
Metal too, correctly, is dust,
As fatefully it goes ahead to rust
Assembling some kind of crust,
Sometimes into eyes blown by a gust
And not seldom penetrating concealed bust.
A rather competing dust
Of as worthy trust
Is silt
Which leaves join when they wilt
And trees after they have begun to tilt.
Dust- A most mischievous thing:
For its flights into eyes without a wing;
In the ears not too good a ring
And for hurting of our indulgent king.
