The Gladden Scribbles by gladdensir(m): 8:53pm On Dec 12, 2021
I don't know whether i'm trying but only you people can give me credit on my work, so beneath is an excerpt from my dramatic verse which I'm willing to share with you [color=#990000][/color]


A shaman's incantation from (A SHAMAN, A VISITOR AND THE NIGHT CHILDREN)


SHAMAN

Abomination! Sickle of death,
Reaper of man's breath
Misty sky,
Man's final bye
What a loony man would duel with death
What a folly act to seek wealth in death;
What a vain is this world of pain
Where men diverts from their fated lane
I know my lane, so I dined with death
He knows my name when I seek his strength
I sought his wave,
He bade my foes to grave
They doubted death's hand
He shoved them around
Death winked at their might
And gave ground its delight
Death is the end of wealth
As it is the end of birth
Killing is death's mirth
Be you in wealth or dearth
Death is blithe of health
But deal with age fated length;
O dreary death!
I sought your strength
That I may tell my foe
You are life's fatal blow
And with just a word
Let me my enemy's deed reward
By your formal bye
Which is 'DIE!
