An Amateur Poet

This was the poem I had written at the end of 2018

An amateur attempt at being a poet!

They say a pen is mightier than a sword

Then why will the Battle of Bastards

Be more applauded than this ode?

There is a deep-rooted message

That some may get and some may not

To those who do, I ask of you

Who do you stand with today?

Do you stand with the bullies

Or do you for once take a stand and say never again!

How do you protect the bullies and simply look the other way?

And to the bullies I ask of you

How do you sleep knowing and doing what you do?

Maybe its easier to bury your head in the sand!

There is nothing wrong with the color gray

Its one’s personal choice and may brighten somebody’s day

But there is everything wrong with being a slave!

To those who thought this was all fun and frolic

I say thats a good way to be

For what you don’t know doesn’t hurt thee.

I bid a happy farewell to 2018 filled with highs and lows

To the highs I am extremely grateful

And to the lows I say Thank you, next!

There were many lessons learnt in this test

But some I do not wish to nest:

For it taught me not to trust, not to smile

And not to look my best

And to remain silent and blindly obey the mightiest!

But the lessons I cherish the most

Is to have patience and

Taking everything with a pinch of salt is the best practice.

My beloved family and friends I love you the most

For you are ones that give me strength

To keep calm and keep carrying along

While I do what I do best.

To the faceless guardian

I appreciate your time and effort

To protect me in your weird sort of way

While wearing the mask of villainous Snape!

And now to end this ode on a fun note

In the Game of Thrones you either win or die

So which house will it be in the run for throne

Will it be Stark or will it be Targaryen

Will the wolves howl or will it be the cry of a dragon

Its a circle of life, so queen you shall be

Until another one comes along and takes the throne!

To the faceless bodyguard I say to you

Cars may come and go

But Wonder Woman is here to stay

So let the sun shine while we make hay!

Life is a game of roulette

So take a chance while you can

Dance along to the sound of dragons and roaring lions

For you never know

You may just learn something from your minions…
