Driven by vanity and not by war
Phaeton steers heaven's steeds with human arms.
Why should I take the burden of a god
If no one is there to see it?

Tips of grass whither brown and gray.
A flash of white. A falling boy.
The indifferent sky's embrace.
Past streaming locks, the sun grows dim.
The canvas moves from black to blue.

Look up Phaeton if you want to understand this poem. If you still don't get it, you're not alone. This is the only "serious" thing I've ever written and it's still a work in progress. I only wrote it to see if I could deviate from my style.

I can't.
