Song of Seven Continents
January 4, 2015
talked of revolution,
He joined in with us well among.
Sharing thoughts of retribution,
singing with us victory song.
When we torn down the golden crown,
Our momentum thrusted strong.
His volume slowly lowered down,
murmur’n his corner, “don’t prolong”.
When we conquered seas and stars,
we put him where he belong.
Far from our justice wars,
A wooden cabin, his home lifelong.
When our kingdom ruin in fire,
He told me how his love expire;
“Don’t you judge me right or wrong,
I knew it coming all along”.

A brief poem with a made-up rhyme scheme and a real story, with obviously some matephors and imagination. And above all, it's a poem about human nature, as human nature is the most fascinating yet haunting thing we know about.
