Prolific Does Not Always Equal Terrific Except For Me Free

A COFFER OR A COFFIN “Rage on,” my friend said unto me “Guard what’s yours with urgency For walls can be scaled by scoundrels and enter your domain So keep a steady eye on what treasures you were blessed to own Small trinkets of gold or a large diamond ring never allow a stranger to lodge with you nor accept what he may bring Lest your coffer be missing when sister sun shines in a criminal’s eyes “Be wise and wizened by wisdom wrought of rightful indignation And let no man diminish you nor cause ye somewhere to hide Hide not the fact for every man to know where you can be found with armaments for destruction, devastation and all out war be yours Allow the will of your castle never to be denied As you hide not the pride you feel inside And grow greater from all the grief Stand stagnant ready to be relegated to belief The fact that no man is unable to protect himself if be he armed with confidence The necessary weapons that will bring his enemies down And the conviction nurtured by his eyes With a countenance of strength For you were birthed, born, made, created, and molded by the steady hand of our overlord of this universe So suffer no man’s ill will nor any fruitless curse And as unfolds your destiny which was decided long ago No matter what the masses may say I say rage on my friend Because to you I might seem very kind But turn your back on even my shadow and I’ll rob your f*****g castle blind (2011.….Poefree
