Legacy of Nothing

Useless, a monument to nothing Buried in sand and eroded by time Forgotten, in the ruins of the desert Statuesque representation of futility Reflections of splendor, decayed without a trace There you sit, on your throne Obese, fattened by labors of others Send them to war, Feed your ego Never lifting a finger Desire for power, accepted aspect of human nature Conquering all others, a selfish pursuit of vanity Visage of terror, remembrance of oppression Ruins all that remain, reflections decayed Delusion of grandeur, rotting the mind Grasping for immortality, yet forgotten like the rest Useless, a monument to nothing Buried in sand and eroded by time Forgotten, in the ruins of the desert Statuesque representation of futility Reflections of splendor, decayed without a trace Once dead, your glory your power Reduced to nothing
