Rest in Peace
A poem inspired by a song I do not own. Link the text
"Rest in Peace the Pope, the Queen, and Betty White,
Used to watch them all on T.V.
But then time. flew. by.
I think I became a relic on the day that
Cartoon Network Died
...
I said, Oh my God
How the Hell did we get here?
Don't get ID'd at the liquor store
It's just another year
And now all my friends
Have good jobs or they're on drugs
Don't remember how it was before the internet
And the years of fucking up." - Betty White by AyoDylan

I said, Oh my God
How the Hell did we get here?
Don't notice the leaves no more
It's just another year
And now all the world
Is all in flames or is at war
Don't remember how it was before COVID
And the years of fucking up.
...
Rest in Peace to Ozzy, good for getting out of here.
Played you in Guitar Hero
But then time. flew. by.
I think I became a relic on the day
Skywalker died.
...
I said, Oh my God
How the Hell did we get here?
Ukraine's still at goddamn war
It's just another year.
And all the storms
Are only getting worse
Don't remember how it was before the internet
And the years of fucking up
...

Who the fuck won the Hunger Games anyway?
Because it's almost real.
Or maybe Robopocalypse will be the way we die
But I don't think that's how we'll go
And oh well, never mind
...
I said, Oh my God
How the Hell did we get here?
We caused a mass extinction
And it's just another year.
And all my friends
Are so fucking happy
Don't remember how it used to be
After all the years of fucking up
...
I said, Oh my God
How the Hell did we get here?
Two minutes to midnight
But it's just another year!
And all the world
Is fucked and getting worse
Don't remember how it was before
All the years of fucking up
..
(Epic Guitar Solo)

Wow, that was really morbid but the events have real impact on all of us,
So much relatability here Alexander. Excellent work! I feel like it reflects how a lot of us are feeling. The bad things in the world are going on far too long - and the good things are always just out of reach. Heartbreaking!
At first I was like "Hang on a sec! I just heard this song!" and wanted to tell you about this coincidence. Then I realised it was you who posted it, lol. Loved your poem!
Love the rehash of that song you shared with me, well played Mr. McEvoy!!
