A Man Of LettersA Poem by matthiasMan inhumanity to man
Their sword pierce thru my eyes
Again they pierced my heart Blood gushes out plentiful Like a mouth that suffers diarrhoea Hush!I hear them caution Nobody must tell what we've done here No eyes must see his corpse Death will come to him shortly 'Death to the poet' they chant He upset our appetite wit' too many letters Too many whispering stanza Too poisonous for a callous means like ours I hear their horses gallop away As the whip fades with distance I must wait for dead wit' all its darkness Wit' all its chains of bondage But the spirit of liberty Does not die with the exit of the pathfinder They can only kill my mortal body Alas,this evil can't out-write the ink of justice © 2013 matthiasAuthor's Note
