My mind is ancient The more I attempt to translate it into modern lexicon The more frustrated I grow Like a language that is unpalatable A sun that cannot be observed too closely But the true agony is To watch a crowd cheer For a mediocre imitation of what I first conceived of A flicker of a candle in comparison That is hell

My mind is ancient The more I attempt to translate it into modern lexicon The more frustrated I grow Like a language that is unpalatable A sun that cannot be observed too closely But the true agony is To watch a crowd cheer For a mediocre imitation of what I first conceived of A flicker of a candle in comparison That is hell
They say imitation is a form of flattery, but I don’t like being flattered
