Systematic retribution of the tumultuous soul
Begins with one's head in a blood filled bowl,
And ends in reckless insanity writhing -
A sickened idealist whose demons are thriving.
But return to the beginning, flesh and all,
Where the tumultuous soul was hitting the wall.
With shame inflamed faces friends watched his demise
With quaint little interest and the emotion 'to despise';
And the littlest hand led the tumultuous soul
With the littlest sigh, to the littlest foal -
And said, 'Take it and raise it and let it breathe free.'
To which he replied through a guise solit'ry -
'I shall, small angel, and my life I do pledge.'
A week later, it dies, below a damp weathered hedge.
