Reversal of Fortune
Reversal of Fortune
In our lives while we're still around
There may remain something worthwhile
Some bloodline's critically profound
Meanings though they may be empirically erstwhile
Wanting to pass on a proven allegory
Of the learned wisdom sorta history
The do's and don'ts kinda adventures
To prevent venturing the same ole conjectures
Simplicity is beauty as in life being uncomplicated
We all try to seek out personal demon
Through trials and tribulations uncensored
The human quest of finding own garden of Eden
Matters not the outcome of going bust
Seeing is believing so as experiencing disgust
At some point you may have reached the summit
But the winds of reversal of fortune at times do plummet!
