The eve of destruction
To which there is little function
Life is just a joke
And we all laugh accordingly
And sputter and choke
Because it is all so funny
Center ring he stood
With bright, rambunctious, childish livelihood
Despite his young age
His façade sets an illusion
Of broken youth and no advantage
And he has only commenced the fun
The dark, onyx eyes
The smile that will cauterize
The dark, gouged out eyes
The smile and the disguise
