Analysis of Sonnet to the Invisible Man
This guy is a force from poetic way
Who has the fine words to ever be best
But also has a prideful strident bray
All efforts to cajole him to the test
Resistance is futile the Borg do tell
To ever be legend in one's own mind
When former friends he resigns then to hell
Where found is the manner peaceful and kind?
To have humility knowledge provides
To open the doors in one's shuttered head
To know that poets are not taking sides
Is more worthy exhortation instead
This fellow could learn if he chose to see
And doing so soon might set his heart free
