Verses From the Remnants of Broken Chains, a Short Series
Verses From The Remnants Of Broken Chains
There, vigilant bronze feeds the steeds of war
Within long silent shadows, there you are
Lost child, sired from Prometheus unbound
Promise of a golden harvest not found.
R.J. Lindley , Nov. 12th 1981
quatrain
Wisdom From The Remnants Of Broken Chains
Attitudes and platitudes- hold that thought
Sad child, in your wicked lies you are caught
Crimson tinges sets the flower apart
Far too late after the last ship departs.
R.J. Lindley , Nov. 15th 1981
quatrain
Justice From The Remnants Of Broken Chains
You smiled licking your frosty callous thumb
Felt injustice, when struck both deaf and dumb
Laughed out loud as you rode your horse to death
Cursing that gift under your angry breath.
R.J. Lindley , Nov. 19th 1981
quatrain
