Standing here at the edge of time

Trying to create a relevant rhyme

Life hasn’t turned out to be so sublime

Wondering, did I commit a crime?

Living in a world where all logic has retreated

Where a ruler should be unseated

Where incompetent leaders have grown conceited

Where morality has become depleted,

Forced to sail in a ship of fools

My beloved land has lost all tools

All as a demented king blows his cool

The dollar is almost gone better use jewels,

Standing here at the edge of time

Thieves struggle over what’s yours and mine

Spitting out the bitter rind

I’m in search of the enlightened kind,

The collapse of the gold mine

Grasping desperately for any escape they can find

As society steps on another land mine

Upon the humanitarians the blame will be assigned,

Still the lust for love driving some on

Even when it seems all hope is gone

Like sinking in quick sand with guns drawn

Narcissus died staring at his reflection in a pond.
