Oblivion

People turn away
From the light of day
When their shadows
Keep them safe

Did you hear the news
It’s a beggar singing blues
The Royal Right states
That was his life to choose

Don’t get too close
Or the truth will boast
Her subtle power
Claiming the mightiest egos

Don’t scoff too soon
It’s half past noon
There’s an artist earning lunch
With his beautiful tunes

Be careful looking down
It’s easy to drown
When your delusions
Come toppling back to the ground
