Off To See The Wizard
by Mark Anthony Kernan

They say that nothing lasts forever,
And neither shall you or I
From this earth, myself I sever.
But no one needs to cry.

I’ll travel down the yellow brick road
Leaving all my world behind me
Where He dwells I’ll make abode
And rise above the bourgeoisie.

Should someone ask you where I’ve gone
Tell them “I’m off to see the Wizard”
On a journey to a place unknown.
For what I’ll call “an extended visit.”

To all I love I say goodbye
For I’ve lost the will to live
And as my departure draws nigh
A final thought-I gave to all, all that I could give.
