Obituary of the Mastodons

Attention to all the feeble masses
The massive ones have gone,
The one’s who once ruled the prairie’s of Kansas
Wooly cumbersome saints they were ,
Yea those ones, yea they are gone, they have left. 
Now we are left, all, to be unchallenged, un thwarted
From our goals of glamorized mediocrity 
We are now the Conquers , but some how smaller.
Attention to all the second rate hacks, fist pumping
Jack’s, 
Attention to the High-heeled  princesses vomiting next
To an Escalade at three in the morning, 
Wake up from your reality, 
 it is your time!
The great ones have gone!
There are no more of the mastodons 
Weep,for the great hairy Behemoths have left  us,
Left us, 
To keep all this beauty.

Thanks man I haven't submitted much work, in my life but I am a writer, now that I am a little older and more patient I'm starting to branch out a bit more. It helps to get positive feed back though, thank you.
