The Ballard of the Blue
Print Edition
Softly sir you do not know,
What thou are toying with
You seek power no?
To make your mortal enemies writhe
You there oh old meek man,
You strive to control the deep?
You fool, no land-born can,
The blues power is blues to keep
Do you forget old one?
It was we who saved thee
And your child under the mocking sun,
Your slander is of the greatest degree
A mortal cannot control the horse-head cresting waves,
Nor the currents snaking ‘lo,
Be careful sir you high-born knave,
Lest we snatch you down below
You may be a man of virtue,
You may be a man of sin,
But persist and I shall hurt you
Thou will ne’er win
For we are the elements,
Interminable, timeless, and eternal
With incantations, potions, and chemicals
You endeavour to control us with your Journals
Yet you summon me at your digression,
To complete your menial task
You make us question,
If you wish an unnatural and untimely death mask
I warn you Prospero be wary,
My powers far exceed thee,
Shark teeth, Cthulu and Kraken, you shall be sorry,
Soon, I shall cast you down
You shall have no time to scream,
Your fate is coming quick,
Your scheme,
Your yarn, gone; snip.
