Boss Bill's Pen-cils by Bill Schott

 
Bill began to pen a poem;
 
it was late; he was at home.
 
With all there was to write about,
 
he thought to whimper, but a doubt
 
crossed into his mind.
 
 
Boss burned down his boyhood town;
 
all evil ones were in the ground.
 
They emerged when he was young,
 
when just a poet, yet unsung,
 
before the signal shined. 
 
 
There lived before the final war
 
his family, friends, and even more,
 
but a notion moved his mind,
 
gave him sight where once so blind;
 
he saw -- THEY ALL MUST PAY!
 
 
Boss Bill leveled cities --  states,
 
countries, continents met fates,
 
the world burned and people learned 
 
THEY MUST COLLECT THE WAGES EARNED!!
 
TODAY!
 
 
But then -- another thought occurred;
 
a silver cat eating a magic bird,
 
a talking bear playing a tamborine,
 
a seeing eye seeing all that's seen ---
 
and then he put the pencil down.
