Remnants

Remnants

In this field in which I reign
O'er rows of gilded grain
Stoic upon crucified throne
Husk enshrined dry as bone
Β 
Once aligned plotted rows
Weed on it amply grows
God endowed bumpkin knave
Gone to seed humble grave
Β 
Toil expiry calloused hand
Sown on relentless land
Omitted here remnants when
Life unyielding back then
Β 
Generations now forgot
All one's pride surely sought
Forsaken house, senescent shell
Only bygone shadows dwell

My goodness what an epic first stanza. You just know it’s going to be quite the dark ride reading on. My word it didn’t let the reader down. A brilliant poem and very creepy x
