The End
From the work FAWM 2025

Composer: Roger D. Linder
The truth has now been spoken
My light no longer shines
All hope has now been broken
They've all left me behind
The pain of their betrayal
Too much for me to bear
I see in their portrayal
I catch it in their glare
It seems as if it's a good time
To shuffle off this mortal coil
In victory, the only crime
Is to gain this loser's spoils
A failure I shall always be
There's nothing otherwise I know
Any attempt to alter me
Will come as something of a blow
And so, my friends, I end this note
I dare say we'll not meet again
For of this life, no antidote
It's only loss, and naught to gain

It comes across as a solid and despairing suicide note. Needs music-to-cut-your-wrists-by, a la Leonard Cohen. That's all compliment by the way (some get worried when i go mordant, but hey! serious laments are needed too!
