'Twere it possible to pluck
The grimy residue from recent oceans
Or to stand resolute with sturdy sea legs
Upon a foundation shaky in its firm conviction
Their woes were pedantic
They used their resilient muscles
To plant tumers that would not grow
Transparent tears stinging upon flesh
The hard work of nothingness
A void to ensnare defiant dreamers
Through the dull blue orb
But the yeoman
Surrounded by their poisonous tongues
Anthracite ventricles
Glutinous voices
Ended the vicious cycle
By striking the flint of his ambition
The yeoman walked alone
Through treacherous copses and corpses
Never abandoning the light
Just beyond the vale
Aging ungracefully
The yeoman steered his stead
To a cloudy clearing
Soaring rather than souring
