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
