inspired by Ozymandias by: PB Shelly - im so inspired so i wrote a poetical parody.
GREED
I met a wanderer, a traveler by trade
he spoke of stories, ruins seen by his eye
the leftover of mankind, dilapidated and destroyed
"the greed killed them all," he said
desert sand covered their luxuries
withering away the stone of the skeletal bone
spoke through the surface of golden ocean waves
I asked the man, "What was it that they desired?"
The wanderer looked at me, eyes wide, terrified.
labyrinth of time played its tricks
hallow silence echo of a forsaken empire
heavy air suffocated the lungs
whispers of songs, the silent melodies
"What did they not desire?"
