"Oh hi, hello poetry! You're safe and sound I see."
"On this odyssey, we're companions aren't we?"
"uh, yes I'm quite sure we've met!"
"When? Uh, from before I was dead."
"You mean to tell me you don't remember?"
"All the words we shared before life's ember?"
"Yes, yes I know you're old and sometimes forget."

Leadership wrangles, a nation in turmoil,
Chaos and confusion, no end to the quarrel,
As leaders fight and bicker, the people suffer,
Their hopes and dreams, lost in the clutter.
With each side fighting for control,
The nation's future, left in a black hole,
Their interests come first, the nation comes last,
The people cry out, but their pleas fall fast.

That whole game feels like a cowboy showdown, but it worked
We spent three nights together, one was my birthday night
Knowing we probably won’t see each other again
We’d joke I’d fly over every sea –
