Eater of Worlds
A sickly kid comes unto the world
He will not die right away
But calling him healthy is living in dream world
It’s hard to decide let him go to school or for his soul to prey
But as years pass by new strength lives in a child
He grows strong and tall
He is rather settle only sometimes wild
And he coughs every fall
But that passes too
Only a teacher calls him sick
And how to pronounce his name has no clue
But she does not realize what bomb in the guy she made tick
He tries to make his mark on the world
But does not have a chance
He lives in his own world
And his name is hard to pronounce
He dies alone and forgotten
Democracy to him is a lie
When they put down his coffin
His eyes look to the sky
But as they write his name on the casket
They make a mistake
They don’t give him a sonnet
But mistake is more than his soul can take
From the grave he raises
And his enemies he razes
He becomes eater of worlds and master of time
And his spirit by his own hand is in the place very sublime
