Happily ever after

then what

nothing eternal joy

so they died

No no
I just wanted the story
to end in good spirits
if you must know
they lived more or less
happily ever after then they died
their kids did much the same.

A master photograph
shot by a master photographer
hangs on the wall
A thousand mundane words
turned into one haunting frame
though it does appear
to be a tad askew
I think it helps.

An old drunk
with a rusty pistol
took an age to the grave
probably for the best
good song

my bad
I fritter my time away
with my head
buried in the sand
looking for clouds.

A hero for one age
just another legend
these days
A trying life
all it took to survive
was godly amounts of brawn
is there a good lesson
somewhere in there.
don't be the child of gods
which would help
if you chose your relatives.

It was gold
and full of nice things
but I was immaterial
all I could do was look
as the demons played
with what should have been mine
on the fourth

"pity the land that needs them"
when things are going well
you don't need people
who go beyond the call of duty
when was the last time we
didn't need them?
a proverb from somewhere
by someone
paraphrased
