As I once told a friend

 

Sure, I did write to a true friend,

Si, some books need to be written

for some words require to be spoken

in ink to undo a blanc soul of its virginity


How to become a King after this Queen

To be grand, yet not too explicitly showing 

To be both clever and wise without boasting 

To be able to bear the pain while none notices

in a way Shakespeare answered their questions


He took up the thorns he'd worn for years before us

seeing what he was capable of so much the superior

that served a people, an earth and heaven's kingdom,

hail to Carolus, the wise, the green isle's final monarch


Words, pages full, that will determine our future,

where messenger and angel mocked, o not by me,

but the bearded miscreant preaching from the pulpit

of whatever creed, for these easily swap there colours

claiming they speak for G-D but knowing nought of Him

Thus a writer of literature was knifed by a devilishly stupid


Far from being inadequate, nay, that was not the reason

but He that'd made Dylan sing "times they are a'changing"

was weary of a world so rich with fictitious joy and benignity

measures had to be taken, torment extending beyond deluge

to break and cleanse a failing mankind. On its remnants renew

and protect this Holy Mother, to give birth to true nobility in each

and everyone, that oldest crowned King understood well and why

"Not a gift, but a rot"

 


He learned he was never here,

to reproduce, it wasn't his task,

as this poet so tragically wrote:  


"they weren't blessed with children,

knowing they were blessed without"


He wrote "and here our path departs"

and he replied "how many times and

to how many have you spoken such",


These words he wrote, but it was the voice

of the Prophet he heard in questioning him


As blackness dripped out of his ears

like thoughts running through a mind

leaving no trace or hint of what spoil


For he had learned to live 

next to the lives of others


But him was bought a keyless entry

yet still he had to tread society's mill

as barren and deserted as his heart 


A stranger amongst friends and neighbours

for in his mind - his heart did live elsewhere

Answered the chosen vagabond


But it's in the book he said

for it was written

By whom I asked by whom

it said so he said

I am to be forgiven I confess

by whom I asked

By God and the people he said

why I asked him

Whatever for should God forgive

any crime or sin

Against this earth that He created

and to any on it

It is you who chose evil over good 

wrong over right

Pitiless in life  merciless your death

weighed too light

No dream interpreter needed for this
