Put this matter with trowel and *** Into the dark and fertile ground, With each hit, he loosed the soil A once happy man thou condemned to uselessly toil His claws, cracked and broken shells Jaundiced with the duty long days that did require Lamed by grief and forced to work Here, till the end of days, within this garden, this mire. Deep does a ****** live here, past the clay and bedrock Like the pride and valor and resolute spirit of the domineering **** Or so her mien, it does beget Or some other erroneous sentiment That she, not he, were to bear this labor. Within the ground, he did remember, in his spritely youth, He planted, and thought none of, but a seed, Into this verdant splendor, which bore that infernal **** And, thence, thereof came a fruit, Of malignity infinite, All the while it poisoned the Virgin’s white and water’s pure, As its eerie little spines proceeded to take root. Her garments poised to emulate white, instead The ****** to him, had lost her white Or never had white at all, The ****** to him, had lost her white, To him, the ****** was dead. The fruit and seed, effulgent and pretty, to those who saw them bloom Attractive were they so to them, irresistible to behold That they, to him with great chagrin, did immediately consume. “But the ****** he cried. “The ****** has poisoned them!” Yet they continued to eat. “We do not believe you,” they replied, and slept ceaselessly on their feet. One by one did they all collapse from the toxin of its juice. The ****** watched and laughed, of caution was there no use. Powerless and sullen, he stood, for remedy was far passed. The ****** now regarded with delight, Has he, poor, poor man, to tend to his blight. The garden gone, its cleanliness perverted, His words were ignored, and thrown wayside, His admonition he so heatedly asserted, The ****** her words never to be trusted Had won over the people, whose homes she sought to entreat, And with her rite, so treasured, so adored, They enslaved and force him to his mire, to tend to the rag and filthy lands Where he would remain with the garden His words, his skin so like the sands

A Garden.
Put this matter with trowel and *** Into the dark and fertile ground, With each hit, he loosed the soil A once happy man thou condemned to uselessly toil His claws, cracked and broken shells Jaundiced with the duty long days that did require Lamed by grief and forced to work Here, till the end of days, within this garden, this mire. Deep does a ****** live here, past the clay and bedrock Like the pride and valor and resolute spirit of the domineering **** Or so her mien, it does beget Or some other erroneous sentiment That she, not he, were to bear this labor. Within the ground, he did remember, in his spritely youth, He planted, and thought none of, but a seed, Into this verdant splendor, which bore that infernal **** And, thence, thereof came a fruit, Of malignity infinite, All the while it poisoned the Virgin’s white and water’s pure, As its eerie little spines proceeded to take root. Her garments poised to emulate white, instead The ****** to him, had lost her white Or never had white at all, The ****** to him, had lost her white, To him, the ****** was dead. The fruit and seed, effulgent and pretty, to those who saw them bloom Attractive were they so to them, irresistible to behold That they, to him with great chagrin, did immediately consume. “But the ****** he cried. “The ****** has poisoned them!” Yet they continued to eat. “We do not believe you,” they replied, and slept ceaselessly on their feet. One by one did they all collapse from the toxin of its juice. The ****** watched and laughed, of caution was there no use. Powerless and sullen, he stood, for remedy was far passed. The ****** now regarded with delight, Has he, poor, poor man, to tend to his blight. The garden gone, its cleanliness perverted, His words were ignored, and thrown wayside, His admonition he so heatedly asserted, The ****** her words never to be trusted Had won over the people, whose homes she sought to entreat, And with her rite, so treasured, so adored, They enslaved and force him to his mire, to tend to the rag and filthy lands Where he would remain with the garden His words, his skin so like the sands
