Protective

Story by Ramah on SoFurry

,


Took a break during a paper for some food and this popped into my head. I don't put much stock into free verse poetry, so anything I make may be a bit choppy from either a lack of time or a lack of effort on word choice, but will always fall into some sort structure made for poetry before the Post-Modern free verse stuff. Like it or hate it, it is all up to your reading of my 10 minutes of thought.

If whether it is lust or greed,

Men given in to want or need,

Their Calls to Gods, to Kings, to Lands

by Lending swords, or lending hands.

The Aspects of Protection live

to stop a take before a give.

Whether they're loyal or defect,

They'll kill a cause to stop effect.

So to the ones to try to snatch

Be wary of the shadow cast

A dragon's weight is hard to match

your frightened gasp could be your last.
