Wake~by Melvina Germain

 

 

Wake

Listen to the thunder all around
rumbling fear abound
see terror laugh and spread
as those deemed all dead
wrapped heads, numbers grow
be ready for the deadly show.
let justice turn around
replace the knightly crown
red fire burns feverishly slow
as death hovers a circling crow
fooled once, fooled yet again
chalk hoods has never been a friend
let the valley rumble as rocks cry out
and the river edge echo long barks about.
