Patience Chest of Riches

Might the earth mount to reap
Of the heaven mother's water's it's lip
Hasty as fire, all to drip
silent sea, must it doth grip
If pond's earth, nay must reap from the hip
And treasures be it's heir to reap

Orphan & Divine Mercy

Am i here to be harassed
Or to listen to torrents of abuses
Being left betrayed and left deprived
Finding no heir, nor property, left unchained
Let study play and not make yourself agnostic
I am with you let not feel flabbergasted

My other brother, the Lord Lucas, who was heir to my father's estate, and as it were the father to take care of us all, is not less valiant than they were, although his skill in the discipline of war was not so much, not being bred therein.

On A Fart - Let In The House Of Commons

Reader, I was born, and cried;
I crack'd, I smelt, and so I died.
Like Julius Caesar's was my death,
Who in the senate lost his breath.
Much alike entomb'd does lie
The noble Romulus and I:
And when I died, like Flora fair,
I left the commonwealth my heir.

The Runaway

Call me the runaway,
You are right.

From home, I ran away
To fight for my life.

It is my right
To have good things of life.

But I'll have to work for it,
I'll have to fight for it,
I'll have to struggle for it.

For I was a heir to nothing.
I had no property to inherit.

Marriage is a contract

Right or wrong, ,
A husband and a wife feel shy
To tell a third person
That they are unhappy
In their marriage.
Marriage is a sordid contract,
Not a religious ceremony,
Just to locate father
And chose his heir, no more, no less.
Yet, couples are weighed with it.

Novum Organum

In Bacon see the culminating prime
Of Anglo-Saxon intellect and crime.
He dies and Nature, settling his affairs,
Parts his endowments among us, his heirs:
To every one a pinch of brain for seed,
And, to develop it, a pinch of greed.
Each thrifty heir, to make the gift suffice,
Buries the talent to manure the vice.

To Dora Dorian

Child of two strong nations, heir
Born of high-souled hope that smiled,
Seeing for each brought forth a fair
Child,

By thy gracious brows, and wild
Golden-clouded heaven of hair,
By thine eyes elate and mild,

Hope would fain take heart to swear
Men should yet be reconciled,
Seeing the sign she bids thee bear,
Child.

When childhood dies, its corpses are called..?

what does child mean?
a miniature of yourself
a treasure to be loved
or a learning human

what does child mean?
a gift to be cared
a burden in your life
or a true friend

what does child mean?
a sacrificial lamb
a heir from family line
or his/her own future

what does child mean?
a natural born trouble
a sweet little angel
or just a mere child
