Gary Jones Poet Free verse

There Once Was a Time

There once was a time when he cared
But, that has long since passed
Now he spends his days killing time

Sure, he had it all figured out
The world was his to be conquered
The immortal knight, the brave king

Once, he was filled with his duty
His sharp mind and his body lean
No task for him was too daunting

Lately, projects go unfinished
Pills for depression are taken
Cocktail hours arrive earlier

Failure was once not an option
Like clockwork, his plans were achieved
The best of his profession, he

There once was a time 
But, that has long since passed
