Someone a long time ago

Purposed the purposeless

And took all the fun out of life.

Someone took the holy pyramid 

And made it into a scheme.

Someone printed some currency,

And someone called it mammon,

And someone devised a formula

For living life by a theme.

And I undo.

Slowly my heart unwinds.

Surely I let go.

Time unravels.

Words 

Lose meaning.

I've thrown everything I own

Down the wishing well,

And only now I see

That I don't even have a wish.
