Damned Draft Dodgers |
| The morning light shone across the surface |
| I had hoped Canoe Lake would be like this |
| The constant financial pressures |
| Were constricting my creativity |
| A black canvas stalked my nightmares |
| Night after night I had the same reoccurring vision |
| So I thought a therapeutic fishing expedition |
| Might help remedy the darkness which had been consuming me |
| But sadly it only brought my blackened revelations |
| To the next extremity |
| As I pushed off the dock |
| I basked and reclined |
| In the serenity |
| This was exactly what I needed seclusion and peace |
| But after a short while I was distracted |
| By a faint line of smoke rising in the distance |
| When I approached the two men by the fire |
| Quickly they turned and shuffled away |
| I was startled when the third one attacked me from behind |
| The deserters worked quickly carrying my lifeless body |
| Towards the water’s edge |
| There I was laid to rest in my shallow watery grave |
| I sunk beneath the surface floating adrift amongst the logger’s forgotten |
| rotting stumps |
| My assailants walked away |
| Swaying ignominiously |
| Running from a life of violence |
| Brought them closer to it than they could have ever imagined |
| Now they are cursed to the life of the damned |
