HEELLO Crimson Quill,
A poem about unjust death. Considering this is also a riddle, I'm intrigued. Is the answer paper? Or maybe trees? I'm bad at riddles.
Riddles commonly come in the form of poetry. This is actually the first time I've seen this happen on YWS. Congrats! "I was born some years past, full of life and strength vast." Well, my answer to this riddle is a tree. Trees are old and their trunks are thick and strong.
"Murdered beside my brethren." I'm guessing woodcutters came and cut down a huge expanse of forest.
"How very common this fate would seem to the magistrate." Most people would think cutting down trees is no big deal. It happens all the time and it supplies us with paper.
"Committed whilst the weather's fine." Of course woodcutters would only cut trees during good weather. Who would risk going out during a storm when the trees could topple down on you?
"Our bruised bodies serve again." Yes the trees will serve as paper and architecture for the humans.
"So that your art can be born?" Painters and illustrators need paper to create their drawings. Architects need the wood to create their majestic buildings.
I'm guessing trees,
Night Kaizer
