Roy Pett Poet Rondeau

I Beseech You

Show me mercy, for I am weak 
a wounded bird, pity I seek
unable to take flight, grounded
please stop me from being hounded
Listen to my pleading,  I'm meek,

I lay here, life surely looks bleak
looking into my deaths mystique 
evil everywhere, surrounded 
show me mercy,

observe inner soul not physique 
a living creature, I'm no freak
unwillingness is unfounded 
non actions would be ungrounded
be loving, helpful, no critique 
show me mercy.
