OBLIVION
OBLIVION
When all is finally said and done
Seeing that nothing now remains
A kind of freshness after it rains
My personal oblivion has begun
Just a black void, no glaring sun
A gentle silence welcomes quiet
No milling crowds, no noisy riot
Peace at last, who cares who won
My mind has now left the building
To others, invisible as a chameleon
Yet my resolve remains unyielding
This is well-earned private oblivion
I cast off my sharp edged falchion
To my darker destiny I am yielding
