The Piper & The Beggar

An inch of earth in phosphide

Poisonous dirt of roots and vines

Sprouting turned the green to clay

A blackout churns life to decay

A grasshopper in a tree

Laments the beggar to be free

From chirrs to tears, ear to ear

She fell to her knees, signs appear  

The shovel stained in parquet 

The praying mantis found its prey

A melody, harmony 

The piper played a symphony

Shovels of lonely zephyrs

Undug gravel baring martyrs

Her existence, a question

Carved in the Garden of Eden

A drunken hung three wisemen

Stole their scriptures, buried doctrines

'Neath the earth, six-feet under

A stillbirth, of a blind beggar

The papers locked in her hands

Her eyes crossed on the grains of sand

The bones remained in caverns

Her body burned with the piper

Great use of description and detail. Your words create wild visions and many things to ponder. I like the way you led the reader. Making them want to know more. I had to read again. This is a excellent poem. Thank you.

This is one of the most descriptive poems I have read on here. I'm not sure if there's an exact meaning to be found, but it leads me to search for it with the beauty of your chosen words. It's very lovely!

Interesting write. Theme wrapped with a great rhyme scheme. Feeling shines through. Liked it!

[M.Kilani]

I love the rhyme scheme you made, profound, the imagery feels like it's coming from The Anthimes, same theme again yet with different style of writing, and an extra portion of depression, great flow as well.
Well done Nama... keep it up

wow, that's pretty good write, i liked it...yeah, i really liked it...:)
hey, i'd a suggestion to you, "write one book/story on it" i loved this piece and i want you to write one story or a chap. on it, this could be a great one if you write. I really enjoyed this piece and you really memorized me one story that i'd heard from my elders. The story was of "Piper and Rabbits", hope you've heard this story too. :)
I loved your idea of writing, i appreciate this theme.100/100
