A solemn choice for Monarchs blend
beneath the barren sod I reflect
the notion of death in its timely plight
forget the night & the day is far spent

I have lived a life that's full
filled with happiness & sad times to
perhaps I have bitten off far more then I could chew
one in twain yet marked on a blotted page still clearly intact

working to hard can give anyone a heart attack
yet through the duration of time I have created a rhyme
a tug at the heart will light the inner spark to where I need to go
choose to bury me upside down so the watching world can kiss me

we frolic long in our temporal dwelling
fix our eyes on the sophistication of the day
a humble desire to ever bow the knee to pray
yet the unbelieving world claims it ought not be that way

still deep inside we hide behind the four walls that bind
its best to leave a lasting legacy in a world of make believe
many choose to live by sight & curse the day they were born
swallow your pride cause deep inside there's a star transformed

they teach you in school to act proper & be cool
yet who are they I pity the fool
when all that you have to give & your time comes full circle
don't ever get caught playing second fiddle or be in its middle

Only one life is soon to be passed
Only what's done for love will last
For no one in this life gets by on a free pass
Aim your arrows high in the sky

Watch as the eagle will soar high as it fly !
