Though a poet unnamed
With this pen, a poet is proclaimed

For with you, there is nothing to hide
You have been my better tongue
That do not want me to die unsung

You are my voice, pen
The fountain of my creativity
The pillar of my poetic ability

My pen, mightier than sword
Deepest interest explored
My pen, so victorious
Makes me so glorious

Busy Old Fool

Standing at a corner unseen to us,
with his dreadful club
what a busy creature he is.

Rich men he respect not
poor men no concern he show
philantropists he show no mercy
wicked men he strike too
No affection he show to the beautiful
The ugly he show no care
Bloodless fellow!

Some he killed with sickness
some passed away peacefully in sleep
Injured greatly in the metalic monster,
[plane crash and motors]
