By the thousands, they came Cliché from the first Locusts, beetles, cockroach mounds Feral was their thirst Upon my honor I did try To stop the blight and plague But my vision action lie Remained a lot too vague Think hard up a strategy Until conditions burned Out my perfect plucky plan My efforts never learned Rage the dark and fight for good Was my written line Another book of former wood To shiver every spine
I loved reading this. It’s truly sad—the fact that the narrator is then losing over and over and over again is truly sad. I love the way the text was written though. It’s very powerful and impactful. You did a great job choosing words that will stop the reader to make them feel. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your thoughtful reading and reflections, Charles.
Of course!
