Water’s Deep

The tepid streams of Water’s Deep,
Filled the mindless with a poet’s dreams.

And the ripples
That caused the world to pulse
Were found guilty
Of aggravated assault.

A jury of poets
Shouting “Plagiarism”.
Rewrote the constitution
Into stanzas that rhymed.

While the mindless (the judge),
Repudiated any affiliation
With Water’s Deep.
And ordered a mistrial
Because the defense pleaded insanity.

Ripples sentenced one to five lockup.
High security.
Dead after a month
If that…

Case reopened in July.
New evidence presented.
Stone found guilty
For framing (causing) the ripples.

Momma says, "Life... is like a box full of chocolates, you never know when you're gonna get one with a nut in it".
