Martyr To Mediocrity ( Archived) (10)

Prankster, poet-warrior, prodigal Prince,
All these things, defying all evidence.
Each day a battle to keep his mind free,
Free of the little things, petty banality.
Mischievous smirk covering private pain,
Lover of laughter, foe of disdain.
How swift time flies when you're having fun,
Before you know it the joke is all done.

Laugh while you can,
Love while you may,
There will com a time
When it all goes away.

Too short the time to spend in regret,
Yet just long enough to never forget.
Details may bog or even befuddle,
Dragging your mind into obscure muddle.
Fight the gravity of petty people,
Or be hung from a cross on the nearest steeple.

A martyr to mediocrity
Extant in our society.
Hung by his Talent to dry,
Left alone to cry and then die

Thank you!
