Corona

Corona
Standing tall and stone still
Shivering soul with silent will
Gasping detects gold and gathers
Gauging grief in gory daggers
Speak in secure strong sounds
Sliced tongue served onto hounds
Wrap comfort in warm wishes
Amputate arms, accede ambitions
Frustrate all fear far afield
Settle for a sodden split shield
Perpetuate false public persona
Capitulate carefully crafted corona
