Matthew Anish Poet Dramatic Verse

The Death of Thorin Oakenshield

Wielding a mighty axe
       the leader of 
     the dwarves
came to a noble end
       Yes, he was overcome 
at first 
    by greed and lust 
for gold
    Yet his heart went out
to the doughty hobbit Bilbo
after the battle of Five Armies ended
  He let his rage die
Yes, at first he was overcome
      by his desire 
for the gem of gems - the Arkenstone
Yet in the end he realized 
that real riches 
  lie in friendship 
the joy of time spent
  with those we honor and trust
