Ravaged

12/5/20


Crafted
Then packaged

Implanted
Continually chanted

Across lands that are ravaged
Now it is acrid

Stuck together or disbanded
Across flat earth, or terrain that was slanted

Groomed and managed
Or unkempt and matted

A weakling or a savage
Very poor or living lavish

Was always welcomed, or got banished
Bore the mark, or was brandished
And branded
After being reprimanded


Stuck the landing or crash landed
Was a lone wolf, or a helping hand was handed

A chain reaction
The outcome counteracted
Nobody knew what to do, when it happened


Does no good being unchallenged
And always having an advantage

Across the planet
In life as far as I understand it
Don't panic, do your best to manage
After suffering damage
Get back up, and put on a bandage
