In this forest glade
I think on the shade.
All mens desires
For women and empires
Fade.
The shout
Of the brave
Is lost in the grave.
And all fires burn out
In the end,
Be they lover or friend.

K Morris - Poet 
Those with any stake in the game will tell you
That nothing lasts forever
That every winning streak will end
And that even the greatest hero will someday fall
The wise supplement personal experience
A riches to rags story
Dripping with
Tears and
Ultimately
Peaceful acceptance of mediocrity
The fools have nothing deeper to dredge
They say its common
Common knowledge
They will say
Eventually
Everything falls apart
Thank you for your blank/free verse poem. The line
“Peaceful acceptance of mediocrity” reminds me of the quote which runs something like
“all political careers end in failure”.
You are right, the wise accept the inevitable.
Best, Kevin
