Forest Man

A man that lives in the forest.

A man walks through the forest so green

Seeing sights few men have ever seen

Walking over paths, so old

walking over paths untold

 

He grows old, his beard grows gray

He continues to walk anyway

He walks from the edge of the world, and back

Few men can ever say that

 

He has seen mountains that tear the sky

He has walked where the birds fly high

He has climbed the cave with beasts of evil

No one knows when he will

 

Stop walking over his forest path

He walks to escape the city's wrath

The city who kill the land with its spires

It kills the world, it paves the mires

 

He will some day die, this we know

With a grave unmarked, that will never show

City's will come and build the land

Industry will come and stretch its hand

 

No one will remember this man so great

He who walk paths and twisted fate

He was the only one who lived without a prison

He alone knew true wisdom

 

Say goodbye to this man of the wild

Say goodbye to the man who filled

The shoes of walkers that came before

Say goodbye to the man who did so much more

 

Memory shall fade into the night

His story will leave without a fight

No one will remember this wanderer

His true nature we can only ponder

love the imagery

Wow, something productive can happen at school.

I thought it was good. the only part that really left me a bit stumped is the 6th line from the end 'The shoes of walker that came before' Was 'walker' supposed to be plural? Anyway well done. Shows that school is good for something after all. lol

Beautiful imagery, beautiful piece. I love the style and the rhythm.. and of course the message behind it.

Incredible job.

Love your detail, I can see an old aged man, reminiscing on the days he spent conquering the world. And I love the rhyme scheme. Mysterious style in this one,
