Soft As Reed But Hard As Steel Poem by RIC BASTASA
Soft As Reed But Hard As Steel
you know how
is it
when you step
upon me
as though i am
another
pathway or
an old
shoe
i bite
and i transform
my teeth
into fangs
my saliva into
deadly
venom and
i spit upon
you to
maim you
and if need be
to kill
you
i could be
you best
friend sweet
as
sugarcane
but when you
disrespect me
and attack
my own
domain
i am as cruel
as your
worst
enemy
you should
have known
better
