Moonlight Monologue
I can’t seem to forget
 The time when this island floated upright
 Then again
 That was before the throne room was riddled
 With the veins of humanity
 Flowing rampantly
 It was a time when safety was painted green
 And when death was blind
 Man was the enemy
 Even to themselves
 Exploitation of the weak was their law
 And power could be gained through little pieces of paper
 With the portraits of dead men plastered on them
 This throne has grown cold since then
 But even the dead have an impact
 Even if it’s just their grave
 So would you like me to turn off the lights
 Or would you like to see when the wolves strike?

Deep stuff bro... deep stuff =P
But to be serious, I really like the word choice you used. Using words such as exploitation and such. Most people just use big words to sound smart and they fail, but you really seem to pull it off. Makes it sound you are well educated, instead of a stupid person trying to sound smart.
