Then the Gods Must Be Consulted
Uncle, as I uncled him
My child, he childed me
Speak.
What have I done to deserve all these?
What curse has been placed on me?
Where am I?
What is the problem my son?
Sonded uncle
As he drew his piper
I have worked hard,
Planted,
But harvested none
Even my own bros
Have turned away their eyes on me
Without mercy,
Leaving me hopeless without a home
Jobless without coins
And miserable in desperation,
I know not value of rest,
Yet
It seems I have invited a lion to diner.
So it's true,
This world has made a chunk of chunk less
A fool out of me,
Son, he sonded
Then the handshake has passed the elbow,
And the naked must have promise you cloth;
But
Take hope, take hope
And have faith.
What hopes have I not had?
What faith?
And besides patience,
Son, he sonded again
Uncle, I uncled him
I have heard you.
