Poison
Substance with death plan or harm,
To recover from it Luck’s charm;
Planter taker has lost his farm,
Not likely to help ‘Raised Alarm’.
In one’s bowel begins its strike,
All good organs poison dislike;
Doctor fetched with the quickest bike
One should not with poison self spike…
Some poison through in a minute
Their wasting strength quite infinite:
Who solves problems with one nitwit;
He has his own very throat slit!
Poison could permit life hours,
Time giving one to watch flowers;
As the plagues of effect tower,
Quick transfer to Airy bower…
Death from poison often trauma
Privileged eyes watch a drama
The eloquent takers stammer
While being hit by brutish hammer:
Some figure bent double squawking
Or trying last-minute walking;
A clear attempt to keep talking
Like hunters down but not stalking…
Poison for foes formidable:
The reason for it credible;
Often loud a killing gunshot,
Ears would it hear exposed your plot…
