The good die young.
The young die good.
Plato said
that
only the dead
saw
the end of war.
Those who wish to have immortal glory
should find
glory in the Immortal

The good die young
The young die good.

We often soften our cotton linen
with
the tears of the hidden orphan
We trod on the sod bought
with
the sweat of the hidden orphan
We don gems that are ******
with
the curses of the hidden orphan

We never listen to the forsaken and abandoned
hidden orphan
.

As the poet spins,
and spins a tale
the crowd celebrates his twirl,
his whirl
But not a soul heard a word.

The poet stopped.

The gentleman in the black trench coat
breathed out
a puff of smoke
and said,through the fog,
"I am a breeze of relief
to some
and
a storm of wrath
for others."

He took out a crumpled piece of paper.
Read it and mumbled,
"I wonder what your share is?"

The seeker
runs quicker
around every street,
his knees getting weaker..
The city fog,getting thicker
The seeker can't figure
out this mystery..
Feels close but he doesn't know
that the speck of gold
he's looking for...........

is on the tip of his nose.
