A small poem.
ow the mighty have fallen:
Twas a simple person back in the day
Of course before everything just seem to fade away
Legions lost, legions gained
Yet the loyal still remain
Through thick and thin we stood proud
Of a world we called home
Never fading ever vigilant we remained
Ever true, ever same
Days passed, moons slept, crops died and suns fled
Things changed…
Some for the good
Some for the bad
Yet there we stood
Atop a hill built from the ground up
We refused to change
Yet others ceased to remain
Some falling, further then others
Overcome by darkness, and light alike
Foundations shaking…
People falling…
Worlds breaking, darkness crawling…
Mind slips, i fall
Tumbling down this hill
At the bottom i look up to see
The mighty hill, hollow. Empty.
Nothing left but dust and ash
This once great monument came down
With a small uttered clash
Few noticed this hill and its people fall
And those who did simply walked on trying to stand tall
Is this it?
Is this how it ends?
Everything goes black…
Awake, i look around
To a world not like mine
Strange and distant this all seems
What has become of my home, left are only memories
Was it inevitability?
Was it fate?
Was it money or maybe hate
Why has the one place i use to love changed so much?
So slightly yet so radically
The foundations of this world seem to move so drastically
For what is left
I can not call home
Only a mere memory..
..Lives, ever so gently
Of that place, i use to call home.
