Edification

The world doesn’t wait
For troubled minds
To study its canvas,
And read the signs..

The world won’t wait
For their feverish dreams
To finally relapse
And give them the means..

Time does not rest
For the weary of heart
To bridle their pain
And fall back to the start..

Time will not rest
Until they confess
That all their dreams
Rested on conquest..

The world can’t wait
For my empire to fall,
To laugh in its face, oh,
The irony of it all..

I’ll just be waiting
And planning on saving
This edification is
Intended to last.
