Vulnerability

by singing to you Songs of what "Is"
or by telling you Stories of the "Ought" 
you thought 
I sowed seeds of Wisdom 
to enrich your languishing Soul--

but I tricked you
I sneaked a message
--a Trojan Horse--

that I dumped on your gate
my weapon of the weak

that you pulled in 
in the middle of the night 
into the fortified citadel of your mind

as if this is by irony of fate-- 

no escape,
i trick you again--

I'm a Poet!
