My Well Protected Border

My protected nightly forum
Calls you forward with decorum
Lest my sword on you shall fall on
What will surely take your life

Speak unto me loud and clearly
Of your name and rank or fear me
As my wrath can cut severely
Like a double bladed knife

All together
Come step forth into the lighting
For identity and sighting
To prevent a moments fighting
Which will send you to your grave

At a hostile hiding shadow
I may choose to fly an arrow
Down such alley made so narrow
That a miss could not be made

At a hostile hiding shadow
I may choose to fly an arrow
Down such alley made so narrow
That a miss could not be made

So now speak and prove your orders
That permit you cross these borders
For barbarians have taught us
Only trust a man who reads

And i warn you sternly trying
To convince you without lying
I can show you as you’re dying
How your pumping heart it bleeds

Since your hiding you’ve not broken
Even after words i’ve spoken
I shall take it as a token
Gesture that you do not care

And shall seek to now uncover
From one way or from another
If i think of you as my brother
Or will slay you hidden there

Hark now what’s that sound you’re making?
In the shadows you are scraping
Something heavy no mistaking
Of the sound of cloven hooves

All together
And i see you moving slowly
Into light and know you’re only
A small wild and lonely pony
And my laughing heart approves

And i see you moving slowly
Into light and know you’re only
A small wild and lonely pony
And my laughing heart approves
