The Innocent Burial

A sacred sacrifice Had tampered fates Befell on those whose glory one relayed A heavenly fruit in disguise poisoned the king that ostracized The lesson learnt was soon forgotten Brought another fellow beast to life Carriages covered in lavender leaves Strangled the malicious monarch that used to greed The innocent one had emerged But it seemed as if the stars had cursed Baby Luke was burnt to death Only if the fates had been reset

The innocent burial shows how one can never escape their tangled fate and that nature has it's own way of dealing with people. One should take this poem as inspiration that fates can however be changed by handwork, persistence and most importantly truth.
