***The End***

The man does in the end
It's a beautiful sad ending
For all of mortal breathe.
The hangman with the nose
The convicted worms condemned to the gallows
The slave driver gracing with his whips
The slave to no rest born
The victor in a thousand wars
The vanquished fallen on the altars of war
The insidious trepidity
From Rome to Carthage
To the ruins of our age,
Vagaries of endless nothingness,
Is all we've strived for
For the man dies in the end
And memories of him are but
Forgotten shadows blended into the dark
Of the dusts of him under foot trodden
In forgetfulness swept amiss.
Yet one thing stands on the shores of mortal brevity
The ruins of our miseries
The gardens of our love
But too often,
Our fountains are of blood
Watering fresh the hedge of thorns
Invading the single innocence of our lives.
