The Target


Who art thou one be set with lance
that aims toward the heart
thy fiery darts strike deep within
the penetrated parts

Whose pointed words and sharpened lines
marks objects purposed be
a bull's-eye goal thou hast in mind
for those who trusted thee

Actuate tones and attitudes
the function of thy soul
thy duties end destruction then
not part but all the whole

The object of thy ridicule
thy spears thus strike the spot
and bring opponents down below
the weapons of thy thoughts

To watch thy prey enduring pain
thy javelins thou hast thrown
while lancets fly thine alibi
be innocence atoned

And care not for those conquered hearts
by gars have broken sound
while halberd pikes have crushed within
their spirits run aground
