Harry Horsman Poet Concrete

Stairway To Obstinacy 2

*   Start at the bottom left read left to right to climb life, the mountain, 

show!
whole fearful
soon to lead the
victor of all this skit
the fatal blow, to think the
within the wit, the malign pen delivers
is left marooned; still the knives are honed
wound, just how is one to build respect, that, which
of tongue from another turns the blade deep within the
seeking the blood of fellow carnivore, A place where slight
upon the boardroom floor; skilful manipulator of ascendancy
Oh! I have seen the action of insensitive men, those that flourish
