I wrote this poem and someone said they thought it would make a good song. Any comments or critiques would be welcome.
Thanx in advance
The Beast of Burden is uncaring
but at times can also be kind.
It's eyes can help you see clearly,
it's claws can make you go blind.
As it trudges along it will guide you.
The beast will carry you if you have need;
but when the beast gets hungry-we wary;
on your soul it most assuredly would feed.
Many take the Beast for granted;
as if it would never buck them off.
But when it tramples them underfoot
it's the animals turn to scoff.
Does this creature rise from the flames below?
Or is it carried on a breeze from above?
So many want to tame this beast-
this Beast of Burden we call Love.
