LIFE TURNE AROUND

I hung my wig, old and
Moth ridden on the wall, 
Then walked to clean up
Down a long forsaken hall
 
Dirty and smelly, the water cold
I felt so lonely and empty, but
The rent wasn’t much at all
I sat on the throne; I was King Tut
 
My life, my good life passed
Right before my cloudy eyes
Tears began to well up
I thought of all the goodbyes
 
There was a day I could rattle chains
Cause people to stop and turn
Success after success followed me
You would think that I would learn
 
But power is power and
To have it is often fine, but
I wanted more and then more
Soon it was the end of the line
 
I was besieged by my enemies
They threw me out in the streets
I disguised myself and left town
There was no one I wanted to meet
 
I became a vagrant
When my money ran out
A fallen hero, unclaimed
I had lost all of my clout
 
I finished; returned to my room
Laid down on my musty bed
I was found there the next morning
The sad one was now dead
