The Fragile Ones
A Space Odyssey

I hunt the weak on planets far
And heard that earth is where they are
I found both strong and fragile ones
The fragile ones the shining star
Their virtue different I discerned
Aware of me but unconcerned
A work of art these fragile ones
With intuition, I have learned
They’re born to nurture, I observed
Demand respect that's well deserved
To disregard these fragile ones
A bowl of wrath will be reserved
Their name is “woman” it appears
So wise beyond their earthly years
If I bring home some fragile ones
I’d be a king among my peers
They’re loyal, soft, determined too
With confidence, you can't undo
I so admire these fragile ones
The time has come to seize a few
I snatched an angel full of grace
She pressed a weapon in my face
Seems I misjudged these fragile ones
I think I’ll try some other place

I’ve been writing poetry (rhyming mostly) since about 2014 and have recently transitioned to writing novels and short stories. My poetry genres are faith, humor, social issues, politics, pretty much any subject matter.
