"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."--F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby


Temptation led him there
A want he could not have
A lust to break from what he was
And it caused his

White feathers turned black
As he tore them from his back
He didn’t want them like he had before
They told him it would help
But all it did was hurt
He followed and he fell

They took away his halo
Played with it as he watched
It was returned bent and broken
No more of its shine or show
They stripped away his robes
Left him lying bare
Hopeless, faithless, broken

Life lied to him with ornate promises
He lost who he once was
He followed and he fell
