Saws
3/15/17
Trees cut down by saws
Then chopped into logs
Some animals have paws and claws
And other do or don't have jaws
Wounds treated with or without gauze
Caused from being at odds
Some always follow or continually break laws
Does every life form have flaws?
Fighting for something or no apparent cause
Doing it either right or wrong
Regardless of there being second thoughts and pause
Deep rooted secrets before and after belief in gods
Stalks from crops turning dry and into straw
And occasional events leaving those that saw
In complete awe
Many objects made through using blacksmith tongs
A lot of which were bronze
Shallow and deep ponds
Swimming with life like frogs
And swans
Near and far from fronds
During dusk and dawn
Could stumble upon
Great opportunities that you'd be wise to take, before they're gone
Stories that were short and long
And the same could be said for songs
Oceans with prawns
Close or far from any land or lawns
Along many bogs
There was hogs
Being hunted by man and his or her dog
Among negative and positve bonds
Suddenly the fog
Came in strong
During a night that was far from calm
As time continued on
Things occasionally would correspond
And other occurrences turned out to be a facade
Due to one typically wanting a cash wad
And to technically rob
