Too Great

-Too Great-
by
Keaton Foster



Too great
Dare not relate
Keep your tail close
Between your broken legs
Untouchable to the shallowness
That resides as your true king
An obligatory master of nothing
That you wish and all that you
So desperately need
I know what I am saying
Because I am one of you
Ridiculously unfortunate creatures
Abscesses upon all existence
Too great
An ideological approach
That has long since been failing
It has been said that persistence wins
But the problem is
That no one is playing the game
Sidelined for all time
Benchwarmers at best
Mistakes continually in process
Accidents once waiting to happened
Now all turned train wrecks
The collateral damage is epic
Many lives, but none our own
Will forever be left in ruin
Broken hearts will never heal
Shattered minds will never again congeal
Too great
Is what will be no longer said
Other words will be used to express
Far less flattering examples of indemnification
Winners turned losers will be left speechless
Losers made refugees will speak
What they will say will be mute
What will be inferred from their ramblings
Will be everything to those who remain
Shaping a future that many
Will have no identifiable part in
Shaping a future increasingly short
A time will come when the end cannot be undone
A time when too great matters least of all
All will take part, choices are no part
Of any solvable equation put forward…
