There is a man, standing on a street corner
business men stroll past him
house wives brush past him, toting large shopping bags
The man watches as the world leaves him behind
he is the only free mind left
Distractions keep even the most intelligent professor,
whose wise teachings once shaped generations of ambitious young men
from seeing one thing

No one realizes what this man does
Long ago, there was an empty world
that world went on a glorious journey, filled with many disatrous
and joyous moments.
There were great rulers, whose harsh decisions lead to the deaths of ignorant, yet innocent citizens
There was even a genious
His discoveries helped the world become more advanced
All of this has been forgotten, or dubbed as a "used to be" memory

Images of past and present fill the man's eyes
and he staggers back, knocking over a young woman's coffee,
which has been placed on her table and never touched.
The young woman is angry and she leaves the table,
almost forgetting her favourite purse

Unkown faces still cross the street
not knowing what has just happened before them
A man has understood that all Great Journeys
must one day
come to an End.
