took a long time

not much to show

all I thought mine

it all had to go

retaining nothing

relinquishing all

"a rhyme for something"

then on to the fall

now understand

what vanity foiled

when a call demands

what yield failed the toil

vanity of prayer

empowerment of deceit

seeing you where

to view your defeat

that's what's abandoned

that's all to show

since nothing was gained

it's easy to let it go
