A whirlwind, clouds of dust A mere memory of things past As my mind swirls in confusion Delusions taken for truth again As I create from nothing but sand Everything is one-dimensional The once vibrant place I was in Now a mere shadow covered in layers of silt But as power grows, I crave more Sweet ecstacy, but what for? Mindless indulgence at expense of many I sit as leader of a transnational tyranny I once remember a time where I grew In more ways than my paycheck In this hollow existence I'm completely Blinded by my ambition and blind to the world Now what if I knew..... What it was like to care for others Something so foreign to me Was something I once held dear My closest friends are my desk and chair I almost forget the scent of fresh air How I remember the times with my friends Thinking that all must sacrifice things in the end
