THE POET AND THE PATRIOT

Who is that?
I suppose none but
The dreaded, Ill-famed patriot
Reciting behind the pebble stones,
Adorned with a beautiful dress
Is a scrupulous poetess
She throws of words,
a pointed crest
That hit the patriot on the chest
He shudders at that costly show
While the poetess glows out in the snow
His path overshadowed
with petals of rose;
embellished with a thousand vows
That sound in the distance, had everything done
The bullet hit him from the pistol gun
A thousand poems and eulogies written for the patriot
While his honoured body laid forever in the mud.

This piece was inspired by The Patriot by Robert Browning
