Empty Glory |
| I have lost my touch |
| And my grasp of the arcane has suffered |
| The chords of Orion go unstrung |
| Neither do the harps of Armageddon sing |
| I am weeping in a coffin of standing water |
| The algae has grown to replace my skin |
| To shed means so much more than it once did |
| I stand terrified of what’s lost and worse |
| What I cannot gain |
| Time has marched forward while I slept in a bed of opportunity |
| Ghost writers dictate my passionate vociferating |
| Editors stop my breath before it can carve any truth out of our cacophony |
| An effective castration |
| A synthetic growth |
| There is a propagation of identity but nothing is truly created |
| And nothing worthy of timelessness is born |
| So I weep and whittle at the scroll |
| And the page mocks me |
| Telling me tales of what I thought I would be |
| Spent potential and vast worlds gone to waste |
| I weep in a bed of stagnant tears |
| Surrounded by monuments to my voice |
| And my words are nowhere to be found |
| Treading a path of second-hand glory |
| Vicariously living through myself |
