The Fable Was Not Able

As stories go 
So do souls
They wonder then grow

As cold as snow
Or as fever ant as ice
Men are not mice

In fields of golden wheat; grain 
Lost with out; insane
Forgetting all that was; ingrained

Living souls in stores
Forgetting their chores
They become the board

Life swings back and forth
Mistrust; faith out sourced
Flesh awaiting to be scorched

Saviour's a many, but never a one
Living beneath the threat of a gun
Time awaiting to be undone

Dear old Abe that Faithful one
His brother ascertained, then defamed
He was Cain, not thy brother's keeper 

But an evil creeper 
A vine unfit to be tied
Entangled a web which he is bound

Truly wrapped and then leather bound
Blacken and read; were the words
The Word; bled the color of red

This fabled prince, our lord
Three score and some
Defeated seven thousand and one

And still some will be lost 
Torched along with the moss
For the fable was not Able

To save any one

Fire Engine Blues

The Child I once was and knew so well
Has faded into a harden shell 

I won and lost a battle here and there
But, yet the war it rages everywhere

My wisdom do earn and over rate it 
And yet, still others will debate it

Faithful trust, just turned into dust 
Life was de-veined, derailed, just a bust

I must, I must, I must
Postponed and deflated 

Under rated Twas some others fate 
I entered into life; a little less, then late

Who dare such a thing? 
Whom could bare such; without wings? 

Debased I can not sing
Gone Is my wedding ring

With Burning Passions 
Set a blaze; my eternals rage 

Bones and flesh are melted, as the Ice 
I take one more hit, a final slice

Fathers and mothers race
A child left with out a face

Flames grown and have over whelmed
Limbs deformed and burned I squirm

I did not ever learn
I was Burned

Sirens sound fires burn 
The loneliest of hues  

While I listen to 
The Fire Engine Blues
