I AM A DEMON KNIGHT
Derrick E Carey 1981 (Sarasota)
For thousands of
Years I have
Drifted through
Time and space
I have literally seen
The world change
I have seen generations
Of men and woman
Come and go
In this time my wealth
Has grown
And my mansion
Is filled with precious
Artifacts from vanishing
Civilizations
I once dwelled amongst
My language has changed
Several of times
My native tongue
Is no longer around
I have walked amongst
The Pharaohs of Egypt
I have bedded with the
Royalty of the middle
Ages. I have drinked
With the great minds
Of the revolution
I have fought
In every major
Battle on this
Earth
Across the lands
Of Europe
Through the mist
Of Scotland
And Ireland
And on the
Plains of the
New World
I have been
Married twice
And each time
I have watched
My love grow old
And pass way
And I never
Aged
Cursed with Immortality
Not born with it
Nor did I ask for it
It was gift
From a witty
Friend that I never
Saw coming
My name is
Jahara Raj
And I am a
Demon Knight
The keeper of
The blade of
Bazoul
The Devour of
Souls
