Magnus Moore
Magnus Moore
My name is Magnus Moore, and I am far from pure.
See I can never die, I thought you might ask why.
No one is quite sure, for everyone forgets who I was, they are unsure.
I am reincarnated and reborn, and no one mourns.
I’m a shadow, a shell, hollow.
I hate mankind, they are blind.
They choose what they see, but I can foresee.
They’ll repeat history, to them it’s a mystery.
They’ll destroy each other, one bomb after another.
They can’t help it, they’re all dimwits.
I’ll still be here, I cannot disappear.
I could be a weapon, but I refuse to step-in.
If I die, no one will cry.
I’ll return, and the people will learn.
At least I hope, though I wonder about their rope.
The one they draw around their neck, they will surely make a wreck.
I truly wonder if anyone cares, of my immortal affairs.
Though all I am is another new face, whose never even left a trace.
Humans forget, everyone I’ve met.
Do they have a brain, gah they are my bane.
I try to tell them of the past, yet they set nukes a blast.
Maybe if I don’t intervene, no, that would be mean.
No matter what I say, they send me away.
Earth is very lonely, for I am the only.
Humans have become extinct, and I’ve begun to think.
That maybe they weren’t so bad, Now I am really quite sad.
I still am unable to die, my mind has gone awry.
Maybe they weren’t my bane, or maybe I’ve gone insane?
