Messenger Decreed

Stories of a wider breed,
coming racing steadily,
white knight and shining steed,
carrying pens to write a different creed.

Bleed until your owner's been appeased,
pen, mark the paper as you're seized,
form the letters so the eyes are pleased,
then put to rest as you are released.

Fight the crowing mean disease,
devouring you and eating me,
inside a city, my body you see,
stay your hand, give ear to my plea.
