Beacon of Timelessness

     parched was the highway of hope
         starved, the pathway of promise 
     drained was the river of riches
         stained, the empire’s new robe

     reeking of sweat, enervated muscles
         peeking at failure, ghostwriter’s orbs
     plagued with penury, artistic lament
         beacon of timelessness, the wind rustles
