The Forgotten

Who first took a stand

That started the avalanche.

All because of happenstance

Empires that arose.

Dynasties that fumbled.

Greatness arose then stumbled.

There you stand amongst the forgotten.

At the end of time's beginning.

Before the primordial springing.

The Priests and Priestesses

In bestial headdresses

The Queens and Kings long forgotten.

What hath thou begotten?

History tells tales of reckoning.

Forgotten is the slave

That dastardly Naive

Who started the political or religious wave.

As time slips away

Do you recall those from yesterday?

Memories lost along the way

Memories that fade away.

Do you stand amongst the forgotten?

Who started it all.

Crushed by the fall.
