"Nightstar"

As amber rays wane with their task done,
The melting of the rainbow, pleasing Mr. Sun,
Setting colours free across a canvas, blue,

Shallow breaths to Karma Police,
struggle to...

Portraits and busts of illustrious men,
Adorn the gardens and marble fireplaces,

Withered are the founding principles,
Replaced by the capriciously whimsical,
The lofty...

My spirit groans for mercy which failed...

ten thousand years or so, 
when magic and crows,

from hailstone crowns...
