RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Zarathustra
The leader who wanted no followers
The teacher who disdained students
The preacher without a flock
The writer without readers
The man who stood alone
The individual who marked a path
Defined his own future
Stuck true to his ways
Never wavered never strayed
Embraced symbolism rejected symbols
Acknowledged the part he played
His vast mind held such infinity
That it embodied divinity
The father of modern philosophy
He condemned a generation of intellect
To a never-ending spiral of decline
A celebration of the sublime
A moment beyond time
His flame sparked a fire
That destroyed great empires
Only to wallow in the mire
Of eternal contemplation
A final resignation
In defeat
