As Told
Resigned to a fate pressed down
Internal conflict, burning crown
See the face smiling, hide the frown
Endure and survive, earn the renown
Listen and obey, you were born to
Out of choice, it's the same view
Visions of a world in a nicer hue
Endeavor to be more one day soon
Strike and slash, do what I tell you
Abstain from pleasure, pristine like new
Veil yourself in war leaving no clue
Expand yourself, don't settle to be a moon
Women are under the feet of a man
Indebted to me, your father, grand
Seek to do as I say, listen and obey
Every order you follow everything I say
Makes you wise
§
Mine And Mine
Looking out at the vista, I see the great horizon
There appears to be a world without edge
I wonder what lurks out there, what's left to see
This world is my dreamland, here I control
I won't let anything happen to this my home
I am content to remain, what do I care about out there?
That is a place beyond my worry or care
I look back upon my land, the home I helped to mold
There is not left to concern myself about
Except for the fortune of those I call family
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Home is where the heart is, and my heart is here
I can't worry about those beyond,
So I'll make my own garden here and now
Reshape the land to how I see fit
But make sure to keep myself in check
§
Judge Wisely
Don't judge a book by its cover
Then what's the point of the cover
Lets say it has good art and a bad story
Well that sort of leads into the point
And a bad cover with a good story
Well that makes me wonder what's the point
Perhaps the saying is more wise than it sounds
Things are not always what they appear to be
Before you form an opinion you should try
So lets do away with those misleading walls
Instead lets focus on the content just read
If you leap before you look, you may find a drop
Though maybe the phrase should change
"Be weary of a cover, Judge by the book instead"
Don't be swayed by the pretty art
Don't be dismayed by the ugly part
Its the content of character that counts at all.
§
Pour My Heart To You.
Pour my heart into this cup
See Its Volume fall to the vessel
My love rises as the container spills
The flow increases as my heart falls for you
Grant me my one desire, that it be you I pour into
That cup is not enough, but you surely are all I'll need
§
What's Right
You can do the right thing
Or we can make things right
§
Goddess of the Underworld
Keeper of the crown, of those buried underground
She reined there, undisturbed, for time untold
Her duty and role, the Goddess of the Underworld
Cut short by a short tempered tyrant, a fan of nepotism
Off the throne she was thrown, cast below to serve in her own home
Not all bad she came to find, her new master more of a partner
Her duties lightened she was able to focus on her own
Wandering Hell's corridors, she saw opportunity for new wonders
Down among the dead, she raised her spirits into a life yet unlived
She was content in her new dwelling, a little slice of heaven in this part of Hell
