The cycle of colapse is true
Time has proven it time and time again
America is next
We're deep in the cycle
Hear my call fellow Americans
Or watch our empire colapse
Like time has proven
There are no exceptions
The math remains true

Kingdoms fall and empires fade,
Once great but now the world forsakes.
Look instead on those unseen,
For earthly things will lose their sheen.

The Empires That Might Have Been
“The empires of the future will be empires of the mind.”
-attributed to Winston Churchill
Empires of the mind – what a glorious dream
A world of laboratories and libraries
Of beauty through truth, music, words, and art
The free exchange of ideas and discoveries
Ministers of state might have launched missives, not missiles
In polished meter instead of heavy prose
And the worst of enemies would have shared
Champagne and verse on a veranda at dusk
While their children scampered in search of fireflies
Then giggled secrets on the porch of St. Michael’s Church

In romantic relationships
You speak Latin
And your empire falls
In platonic relationships
You speak Greek
And think about caves

The threshold of the unpassed
days of future past
dolled my own edge
living life in my head
I've worn more nooses than crowns
we've seen the empires fall down
dreams fall down to the ground
and we don't make a sound
love to see death on the TV screen
*** it seems so real to me
and life can be so obscene
better than life so real to me
The endless charades we play
The memories last
Living life on the edge
wondering will it last
I've worn more nooses than crowns
the walls come crumbling down
dreams fall down to the ground
And we can't make sound

The Sphinx's riddle
Ended with a stick man holding a stick.
The cane.
Those Egyptians were on top of the chain.
What will Lady Liberty's Riddle be
For today's Empire.
After the machines, tubes and electronics
Have made us blade runners.
With a cane.

I find myself lingering more and more in the emptiness and because of this I awake in the chaos of a misplaced life. I am constantly forced to build an empire from the ruins of my mind, but the bricks never align the same each time.
I am
not doing
well. I’m
not
doing well
at all.

And I'll throw my weakness
Into your greatness
If this broken heart is all you want

My heart beating, my soul breathing
I found my life when I laid it down
Upward falling, spirit soaring
I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground
