All Who Squander Loss

Every idiom disappears
On wretched shores
Tidal waving semaphores
Bring capsized boats a savior oar

Grieve your heart out of rubble
Boulders fell for you
Perhaps the trench can wrench your troubles
Out from sticky rue

Do not wake or wait or wail
As shattered glass
Traps and tricks and toils and tames
Your bloodied sullied mass

Animation will gain
From stoppage time
As losses pile pain
Learners stepwise climb
