Lost In Time
November 7, 2011
Once upon a time in the distant future
a flying buffalo saw a green pasture
He had just eaten and was full of might
So he went there and ate everything in sight
A dumb man shouted what was happening
A def policeman heard his crying
A headless elephant became afraid
and tricked the buffalo using his brain
Picked him up and threw him so high
That he reappeared in the present right out of the sky
And if you still think this frontrunner of a poem lost in time can be found to be lame
just ask the dumb man he'll tell you the same

The flying buffalo is symbolic of someone advantages that he does not deserve,such as people in power who are undeserving.And the disasters that can result from it symbolized by the buffalo destroying all pastures.People who of this are too afraid to speak out and pretend to be blind.The law turns a def ear to all cries.And if things get too bad those in power are removed violently,countless assassinations across history bear testimony to this.And the people orchestrating these often thirst for only power,and their understand is only useful when bringing upon others downfall and not when making others lives better,symbolized by the headless elephant.An if left as it is,society may one day be lost in a timeless abyss of misery.
