I knew a man
He goes by the name of Campbell
Never did I see anyone
Who liked to cause more trouble
It was coming up to the time
When they say
Lucifer fell
Into the brambles
The time we now call
The feast of St Michaels
Campbell thought he had a win
and not unlike
Lucifer before him
He put his pride ahead of commonsense
And everything else that
Had come before
Campbell wanted to the superior
Than the man he considered his competitor
Most of all, he wanted that man’s wife
To chose him over her true love
I knew a man
He goes by the name of Campbell
Never did I see anyone
Who liked to cause more Trouble!
He attacked the woman that he coveted
He attacked the man that she loved
He thought that because he himself
Was a liar; every man else was the same as himself
Campbell fell into the briars
He had tread on sacred ground
‘Let what God has put together,
No man pull asunder!’
Campbell had wronged the laws of God, Man and Woman
The Woman he had coveted pulled a curse down on his head
The Man pulled down the laws of earth
God pulled down the laws of God
For Campbell had sinned by heaven and earth
This poem made me think of greek mythology. Such an interesting story poem.
