"You should have seen the world before it died"
one would have thought them to be inhumane
some great men gathered, on these we relied
while others were out of the box insane.
The glitter was spectacular indeed
rich dazzle, what is the meaning of 'is?'
so many persons shooting for being freed
but bound they were; what captivating fizz.
Manners going for the lowest of low bids
rarely a missile fired but which to kill
happiness wasted behind tired eyelids
like a fruit on the vine, soured, no refill.
Borderline sanity's complexity
fast fragranced the world in simplicity.

Discord is evident, but so too is the story, althogh we had here an equestrian going on here jumping into some syllable craziness. Good try though.
