Daedalus Falls


Daedalus rose up

He instructed all through art

Though many listened, many were tart

He was o’ so brilliant as many would say

But was frowned upon in various ways

Various disagreed with his meanings and looked the other way

As he sat down crafting away the pain

To survive financially and live another day
