‘Gourd of death’
behold the dreaded fruit
of forbidden seed.
reverred by those
of darkest creed.
Now I do need
to punctuate,
lest I incur the wrath
of a reader irate.
I may seem self-pitying,
that much might be true.
But really what does
that matter to you.
I could write
of man’s hopes for tomorrow.
It is only as a matter of preference
that I focus on sorrow.
for it seems that I
have thourough devotion,
to the expression of
man’s darker emotion.
If you don’t like it
may I suggest this;
write something better
and don’t take the p1ss.
