Clown

They called him, "Fool: a stupid clown,"

And no one thought his words profound.

Until they dug him six feet down,

Then dubbed him, "Sage: a man renowned."

Some locales ye should not go:
A destination far too low.
And places that should not be tread,
So caution when we make the bed.

Self-incarceration

A prison there, without a lock.

Electric chair, without a shock.

A pris'ner, warden: one in same--

A self-incarceration vein.

Maligned

To be complicit in your crimes,
And dig my grave right next to thine.
Oh what a duo we would be:
Maligned for all eternity.

Ignorance

Don't come here pleading innocent;
I simply will not hear of it.
Ignored, perhaps, that may be so,
But you can't say you didn't know.

A piece of sky

Pile gold until the clouds,
Yet only end up upside down.
Land is purchased, one may buy,
Yet who may own a piece of sky?

Relegation

Relegate my words to flame,
And pile up the ash
Then not just me, but family tree,
Our teeth will surely gnash.
