Playing Dead For Biscuits

By A_Puppet_Show


A young knight embrace title,
the way man embrace his tale;
Fiction? it is a fools pretense -
to grow to know must we?


For the hell of it:


These men, sons all of them,
sit as sons far from young -
with a warm cynical heart;
A shield to have you see, these -
escape scorn escape pity ...

These men, fathers all of them,
stand as fathers unafraid -
with a loving wrathful tear;
A sword to have you see, these -
dare speak dare listen bravo!

    This is exultingly tearful - for some reason...a sword to have - to dare speak and listen - all lessons learnt. One must know the lie, before the truth is of use - fiction illuminates, enshrouds - is a sword. Some biscuits are hard to swallow.
