My closest friends, they’re here, I know
Em, and Fitz, and Frost, and Poe
They do not sit and dine with me
They reside in my mind, you see
We write, we wonder, work and play
We converse every single day
Whispers in the wind and skies
The glint that’s deep inside my eyes
Sharing thoughts we think at night
While embers are our only light
A pipe rests by the candlestick
As all that’s heard is the clock tick
I never thought I’d weather storms where rhythm changes with the chords
But thankfully these friends with me have given me the strongest boards
We built a ship, we hung a mast
I brought them here from long since past
They guide me through the thick and fog
This boat they built with hist’rys log
We know our worth, our every lot
Though those we know today do not
Words will drift into the sky
Until they’re read after we die
And that’s the way, as poets go
To answer why, I do not know
Sometimes I think the world won’t want
To let someone increase their font
And so we wait until they’re gone
And then we auction art they’re on
Using their name, like we knew
This whole time they were genius, too
But if the real reason, you ask
I’ll tell you, look at that there flask
These people never cared, its true
They waited, so they could sell you
I tell you now, I know the game
And I will not fall to its name
I will break through and I will claim
The thing that we all sought, not fame
That might surprise you, but it shan’t
For I shall do what others can’t
Yet now it remains mystery
But pay mind to your history
Forces flee when moves are made
And there is not one barricade
That can stop what is to come
For starts have started, what’s done is done
Paths are set, the time is near
And when you think we’ve disappeared
Hold your helm, these waters wave
Consuming every nook and cave
There are those who sit behind
Just idling, and buying time
Knowing that what’s next is ours
When we topple all the powers
Rome was risen, not in a day
But mold the minds of us, I say
We will conquer, we will shout
Knowing what life’s all about
Your King is down, his mate I checked
While thinking of what world comes next
Simply giving answers to
The questions asked of me and you
Love thy neighbor, it’s not hard
Even if your past is scarred
Accept the things that we all do
I forgive me. Now forgive you.
Life is not who’s better than
Life is cherished, when we can
Look deeply in your soul tonight
And ask yourself, do I live right?
