Ode to Rip van Winkle
"Tick tock, tick tock"
The incessant howling of that little clock.
Samiel is coming.
Your warhead does not distinguish between riff-raff,
But you've been slain by your own sword.
Shaken, trembling,

Searing through your skin?

You fell with tears in your eyes.
Who is your maker?
Who is your saviour?
O broken warrior,
How will you live with the shame?
