How you once were, br Broken ivory cur br Now left to die unfurled br In an ever transgressing world br That has withered your form br With blunder and war br And times passed br Funded into the vast br Along with men abound br Planted benevolent in the ground br And timely thoughts recalled br To their ages installed br Whether right or wrong br Found their place to belong br Have all but left you to shambles br Victim to destined gambles br By humanity’s unaustere devices br We’ve paid in insurmountable prices br And all you can do is stand alone br A world of retention locked in stone br Oh how you’ve been wilted by human err, br Lovely and sad, broken ivory curbr br Jeremy D.
