Fallen

Fallen                             November 8, 2005

Glory was once bestowed upon you,

But just like that, taken away.

You were left out in the elements to freeze,

For according to the puppeteers, you were through.

Life on a pedestal was so very easy,

For you hardly lifted a finger, much less two.

Now, it seems you are one of the underlings,

Having to work when you were always pampered before.

Life is hard now that you are fallen,

Royalty title stripped, faced with a grim reality.

I never thought I'd see the day arrive

When your back'd be against the wall, struggling to survive.

Weren't you once the one, darling,

Who was quoted, "Let them eat cake"?

If you were, well, things have come full-circle.

I think apathy has its just desserts.

Without a doubt, you're tasting yours now.
