ἀρετή: arete

some stay around longer than others 
but at the end we all end up the same 

even our tribulations are not even foot notes 

the money we needed, the trials we won 
and those we lost. even the big big ones 

that change the course of history are 
left, now, not even on paper - only in bits 

electronic bits some future some one 
needs to take interest in - all files here 

where i practice has migrated to an odyssey 

i don't believe great odysseus would be proud 
in the years that followed his great quest - all 

was left to some troubadour to sing aloud 
when people drank and forgot that it was 

an actual man who had caused our demise
