Out In the Fen

9/21/16 Spiderwebs Close and far from water levels continuing to ebb The skies overhead Occasionally not blue, they red Plants with broken branches and damage to the stem Some of which too sickly to mend I don't recommend Getting caught up, and copying any trend Be yourself instead And if you're struggling, take care of business, don't go to bed People killing over bread And to sever all ties and threads Chopped lumber up with an axe and wedge By myself and with some friends Out in the fen Found a gem Stood at the edge Of many a ledge Always swam and tread Some races I lost and some I won, even though I hadn't always led Many stayed meanwhile others fled Near and beyond any kind of watershed Been in the snow with and without a sled Around a lot of turns and bends Many made a pledge Prayed and aimed for evil to be cleansed Been happening and seen widespread Conflict and bloodshed Yeah I all ready heard what you said Better watch yourself if you try that again Wasn't all that difficult to comprehend The difference of boys and men
