Current mood: | contemplative |
Entry tags: | the functionary |
In these, the dying hours of one man's reign
When darkness sweeps the world in night and day,
Success no longer able to be feigned,
Survival now the issue of the fray.
From furthest dream has his successor come
To try his hand at beating sorrow back
With chants that sound as loud as beating drums
And thoughts that turn few hearts still cold and black.
Yet still he soldiers on to meet the light:
Hope, infused throughout the world and nation
To warm away last traces of old fright,
Perhaps a chance to salvage least creation.
