Poem:
.
the races will be amalgamated
moral responsibilities debated
too many standards outdated
personal gains advocated
the king is highly overrated
the poor eunuch was castrated
is it an honor to be animated
whose ego needs to be inflated
do we know how history was translated
is the loser always frustrated
questions of life too complicated
opposing views never integrated
too old, the thinking mitigated
the sedate man domesticated
learning to enjoy life uncomplicated
the simple things appreciated
trusting those who are venerated
my body parts have been donated
please consider me antiquated
old, spent, tired, exhausted
there is no punch left in the line
these few words will be my shrine
