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 © Copyrights G.
