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
