Wasted Life

arrogant with the power of worthless money devaluing his growth in search of comfort loathed by his companions over his blindness accomplishing misdeeds heaped one upon the other lost, lost searching for what he's denied falling victim to his wants his eyes obscured by mists of greed and selfish concern his heart stiffled by pain turned inward at war with his existence and seemingly unaware of the condradiction a wasted chance one smile of gratitude one thought of selfless love of more value than his palace and his armies one reflection on his existence denied no one can tell him he can't hear he can't see he can't feel his own heart beat.
