Michael Degenhardt Poet Quatrain

I Fear Thee, Not

Speaketh then, oh ghost who waits
You hover here to only haunt?
What powers have yee, lonely friend?
For all you do is solely taunt.

No fear, have I, for thou art rude
To watch my family behind closed doors
Speaketh then, oh ghost who waits
Or else, be gone, forevermore
