Grand Maritoll
18-03-2006, 22:00
His Lordship Kinjion (may he reign over Grand Maritoll eternally and the whole world eventually) has produced three sonnets. These sonnets are to be committed to the memory of all Maritollians for the unification of the People of Grand Maritoll.
Sandcastles
Living life isn't easy, isn't it grand?
The tide comes by day and by night
And it washes away our castles of sand
As we are distracted quite.
Once I sat on the shore, and made a castle,
With towers and windows, a sight to behold!
And as I worked, my mind was my vassal,
So together we made our castle of gold.
But soon the tides turned, the waves rolled in,
And I found myself drowning in sorrow and sin.
My mind was rebelling, no comfort I found,
And the castle I made... fell to the ground.
Let this be a warning to all those who dream;
Fantasia and truth aren't always a team.
Stonecastles
Of all that I've done, of all that I've known,
Just one thing remains- my castle of stone.
Stone castles aren't made with who or with where;
Stone castles are made with time and with care.
Thus my castle is a marvel of thought,
With patience extreme, the iron was wrought.
Thick layers without, thick carpets within,
work well to consume the external din.
But the ocean unyielding does her chore
and washes away the stones on the shore.
My own stone castle is mighty and tall,
but my stone castle will with me fall.
And now the lesson is finally learned,
one who trusts in stone will ere long be spurned.
Truecastles
"How is it so?" You wonder, "How can this be,
that every castle falls into the sea?"
But there is something that is stronger than stone,
the surest foundation that's ever been known.
So build your own castle with time and with care,
but keep in mind truth, which must always be there.
Proceed with caution, and make no assumption,
weakness wears a mask of innocent gumption.
The relentless ocean will try with her might,
to knock down your fortress, to make you despair,
but your layers of truth will prove watertight,
and your castle of truth will always stand fair.
The sea cannot destory that which is true,
so cling to the truth, in all that you do.
