Title: Glory in vain

Poem

Instructions


Time was when a man would die for glory.
But now, all that's left is ash.
Death comes like a cold wind, thudding of a door closing after а party.
Only leaving the old woman with a feeling of sadness.

 

Time is of the essence, and so is glory.


Time is of the essence, and so is your glory.


Time was when a man would die for glory.


Time was when this was all he had of glory.


Time was when he was in his prime of glory.


None of the above



But now, all that's left is ash.


Now, a man dies because he can.


Now a man will live for fame.


Now they live for the reminiscence.


Then came a time when he would die for lust.


None of the above



Death is a gift.


Death is a great healer, but it takes too long.


Death is a great sifter that will separate the wheat from the chaff.


Death is a slumber.


Death is a slumbering giant.


None of the above



Death comes like a thief in the night


Death came like a tornado


Death like a swooping eagle


Death comes like a cold wind


Death like a door closing on itself


None of the above



And the thud of a door closing after а party.


And the children of your earthly party.


I'll go to any house, any garden, for a party.


To the chariot's first party.


The tumult of the bloody party.


None of the above



The glory and greatness of the name in vain.


Is he who seeks glory in vain.


The glory and greatness that i, who in vain.


Of thy glory; all my thoughts are vain.


And squanders glory, fame, honor, life in vain.


None of the above



heart flutter


fucking nightmare


drunken sailor


bed


Death leaves


None of the above



I'll tell ye all about the glory of artie.


I'll tell you all about my glory, artie.


The saviour of mankind, what for do i marty.


The semblance of them is so hearty.


I’ll give you a guinea in glory marty.


None of the above



Leaving behind a trace of sadness.


Leaving a dark impression and remembrance of sadness.


Leaving behind a trace of pain and sadness.


Leaving me with a feeling of sadness.


Leaving a dark impression and а feeling of sadness.


None of the above
