A Friend to All
By Ortolan
support your opinion like well paid lawyer
go with the flow like air and pure
water
always on time like the sun and
the moon
perfectly charmed like a well carved
rune
take no sides yet have everyone's
back
have no opinion and still have
no lack
human like hollywood real in the
flesh
nobody hates me and out with one
breath
never disloyal and never dishonored
allies with all from the teacher
to monger
babble a song like a river in June
brilliant and shameless and made
to make you
would you suspect it's a devils
disguise
would you see a man behind reflections
of eyes
would you dare suspect one lie within
my sea of truth
no, I am the Ubermensch, the Lucifer
of youth
wise man said once upon an ancient
time
one of many, friend to none, he
ain't no friend of mine
sorry I can't help if I'm the best
that ever lived
no attachment, no betrayal, I am
the visitor hidden
thank you my friends for everything
all I ever wanted was the world
thank you all for welcoming me
the mortal day ends and I'm killed
sleep like the reaper
today was perfect
my brothers keeper
tonight will be worthless
how can I explain these things
freedom is my pedestal
there is no containing me
yet I am locked inside myself
there is no reclaiming me,
I go home, and it is my hell
I go home, and it is death's knell
I go home, and I frown til dawn
I go home, and alone til morn
I go home once again and I'm gone
