The Shire's Blindness
Rolling hills of swaying grass
and secrets tucked in sleeves.
Bliss detached from all years past,
ignorance of history.
Fear or cowardice governs there,
along with smiles, kindess, glee;
It keeps them from safe and far from where
lurk beasts and cries of misery.
Adventures, stories, tales of old
read 'neath those mangy, gnarled trees;
those recounts that his uncle told
are solely what prepared him, see?
