Ransom



May you be clothed with the silt of a spider,
By will, truth milked from a liar,
Wonders of a cloud soft as a bed,
Does one''s brain rattle in the head,
Is man knowledgeable to fashion gold from led?
Are there mysteries that wake the dead?
Could death be freedom or is it retribution?
Only the spiritual have the solution,
Many beseech and seeks the answer,
Many do know but hold it for ransom.
