Flailing sails waft silently as I wail

Waving my grey napkin.

I'm frail.

And, my reaction is stale.

As I graciously yell,

"Goodbye!"

I'm a shell of my former.

It's a long forgotten tale.

Culture gained,

Though, I failed.

To end the war

That my love fought for.

I abhor

Violence in scores.

Hatred in hordes.

Losers that's sore.

Cowards and more.

What is this for?

What's the reward?

Primitive mail

Hard like hail

Piercing sharp nails

As obstacles block the trail.

None of this matters, though.

It's all just age-old.

No change as history pages fold.
