Lord of the Ring (Prophecy)

Was i not the one the messenger of the code of a ring the diagram scrawled out among a series of poems showcased to a board of review at a mental institute something they could not legally speak and then the towers fell was i not the one who spelled the word of doom the night before it struck secluded on a maximum security ward still unspoken the animals ran before the tsunami am i not the one whose first middle and last names are sung heroes of a non existant crime scene of the metaphor of life the broken down science of watch my back and everyone stands tall the one life defined to keep safe the reason we were born the easy way to protect ourselves from our own undoings Am i not these things the lord of your rings the one exposing your secrets of silly extravagent things am i not the one gone this far out of my way to do what i could for you is there no one out there for me when i feel for sure you already know what you must do Am i not the one crying in the streets of your town uniting families together with life lessons of together we stand to prevent our fall The lord of the rings from the mental hospital carried you a message that went unheard i still serve you a purpose do not let it go unheard forfathers of the next generations would prefer was it not i who warned the life sentence of mans will to do good the curse of not knowing ones maker lord of the rings it is i who has done these things for you like a karma i could not alone possibly owe
