Rock


His name means rock...he learned this fact

From bible tales, to be exact.

Disciple, constant, at the side

Of one he, in the end, denied.

Betrayal as the final act.

He twists in vain, ropes tight, thrice tied;

Exhales, lets pain and fear subside;

Holds on, as random thoughts distract...

His name means rock...

~0~

His cards are dealt, the odds are stacked

Too high; such mad, brave schemes he's backed.

There's nothing left but stubborn pride,

With secrets kept, and Fates defied.

Unbroken still, though worn and cracked;

The will to save his friends, intact.

His name means rock...
