Treat Me Nice and Fair

Treat me nice and fair, please do
I may look old, though 
I have a pure soul
I stay upon this land, 
I have no special goal
Not as your vicious vile
 It might think of me so

I am full of affection for the land,
I really do —
For there my old times carved,
And my roads paved.

I love them, really much,
I love them so.
I am a true gentleman
With a unique soul.
Please treat me nice and fair,
please do...

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly
