Look Around, You Buffoon

Ask a tree and he will tell you

Some things you should never tow

They leave me every year and every year they are born new

Its nature you buffoon, just ask the moon

I grow for 14 and die the next 14

Longing for a day of dark to enjoy a day of light

Losing or winning? I don’t have time for such a fight

It’s worthless to be part of such a fray

Its  nature you buffoon, if you don't believe me ask the day

A few hours of life and the long sleep of the night

So many lives to see, so many ties to break

Happens to me every time- the sea, the trees, you and the moon

Learn to let go, its nature you buffoon

Let me tell you the most important lesson of it all, he said

The joy of new ones would be lost, If I held every leaf that was dead

You will always find a bond, remember its Easy Come and Easy Go

Its nature you buffoon, some things you should never tow

The Last One Standing

The one that had won all and was meant to lead the way

The one that went astray

Some say he is present all around

And yet Love was nowhere to be found

Gliding like a snake, he instills fear

Lives far away but appears to be so near

Treacherous and malicious, adulterous he was

Betrayal was in his nature, luck never understood laws

Born and raised amidst joy and love

Beloved daughters of the heavens above

No black or white, they chose shades of grey

Friendship, fate and Faith turned their backs and simply walked away

Love, luck, friendship, fate and faith, he fought them hard and dirty

He fought, failed, fell and got up; hungry and thirsty

He crawled and clawed, was battered but brawled in situations trying

Drenched in the blood of his foes his Will was the Last One Standing
