Falsly Accused



Such wretched pain, in a Thorn, dose not exist.
I've challenged better men to
Show me the pain of which they speak.
Show me what pain lies within the thorn.
Each of a thousand farmers, warriors
and the like, have failed at 10 paces
So accuse not the thorn of harboring pain
Is it not the actions of the jester seeking the thorn
that beckons the pain?  Toss aside those colorful garments
Seek not the lonely thorn and suffer not the
avoidable pain
