Where did you go
You know
The queens and kings?
All those who jumped on board?
What did you "win"?
Some celebration
at the anahilation?
You conquered this, your "toughest game"
You celebrated your "fame"
for a moment ....
You disappeared into cyberspace
You were replaced .
(Same fare you offered him...)
Fried Pickles and Jacks with Axes
The man who digs the bones.
Photo buried at dirt crossroads ,
Living Life old and alone.
Headlights crossing down the highway,
Hearse comes to take him home.
Cherry burst upon the highway
discarded like the fame you've known.
Two years too late...
Sealed my fate.
Compliant and Complicit.
No one left to defend.. banished into cyberspace.
The King and Queen since replaced.
Legacy erased.
His wisdom still graces pages,
One of Poetry's greatest Sages.
