'The Protector'

The Protector

First I protect me,

Then I suspect me,

Next I direct me,

Now I reject me,

Soon I’ll eject me,

So I don’t subject me

To more of my own protection.

*

Am I evolving?

Perhaps I’m devolving,

I hope I’m absolving,

And I’m not dissolving,

What needs resolving,

For I’m not involving

More of my own protection.

*

Will I regenerate?

Or merely procrastinate.

I need to accumulate

The will to congratulate

Myself and to speculate

That I wont degenerate

After more of my own protection.

Ad infinitum …
