My fellow man

I cannot suffer and die for you,
I need my life,
my love.

You will have to find your wisdom,
your war,
and your waste,
in another place.

The great bards of old
have foretold
of the downfall of all.

I agree,
of course,
it is simple logic.

The world will fall.
But when it does,
I intend to be in love.

A father,
or grandfather,
with my wishes fulfilled.
