Evil Mystic Water WellA Poem by Earl SchumackerShiny things and gamblingEvil Mystic Water Well
What wells up inside Down the dark hole coins are tossed for luck Barriers, born on fear are near at hand
Islanders surface from the past for gambling Dice people from Taiwan markets dig deep Mystic water lay five hundred feet below From here that would make it closer to New York Under pools dark path Below, most deep and damp
Moisture lays behind well walls There are no floors about the water barrier So players must throw twice No where near here or where they need to be 13 is the only number rolled 13 times Which makes them times themselves
Solids form an interior circle of wet cement From magic forces causing concrete blocks Without the help of people gathering to stop Who could stop a concrete block
To the evil power that remains in love with pain Imposing on the child to fall down the open well Water understands nothing, has no name, feels cold Drinks in the love of God, remains inside the quiet Flourishes with raw power deep in the nether world When not being poisoned Evil imposes on the child to draw near the shiny coin That name is mystic water one and the same still on
