Greatless

There in line
A soul in distress
No warning sign
Withered from all tests
A broken streak
Now questioned on legacy
Never meek
Almost heresy

Given breath
Still lifeless on the side
Nothing left
They're greatness is a lie
Accomplishments
Wavering ripples
Lesson lost in banishment
Forgotten symbols

Each power in disarray
Another broken bond
Actions were for play
Too strong for the smaller pond
Yet here is the present
Kings chosen for the moment
Holding office on rent
Ruling shattered movements.
