The downfall of a man is not the end of his life.

It Doesn't Take a Rocket Scientist
The duality of false representation,
Eventually shows the origin...
From where it has been created.
Consumed by ego,
Is their downfall!
And it doesn't take a rocket scientist,
To connect the culprits to their deeds.
Consumed by ego,
Is their downfall!
There is a trail of incompetence,
Wherever they go...
With a wish to get acknowledgement,
And undeserving praise.
Consumed by ego,
Is their downfall!
And unfortunate are those,
Committed to follow.
Consumed by ego,
Is their downfall!
And shoulders to cry on,
They seek to weep.

Downfall
Wonder how you sleep
I wonder what you think of me
If I could go back
Would you have ever been with me
I want you to be unused
I want you to remember
I want you to believe in me
I want you on my side
[chorus]
Come on and lay it down
Ive always been with you
Here and now
Give all thats within you
Be my savior
And Ill be your downfall
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Here we go again
Ashamed of being broken in
Were getting off track
I wanna get you back again
I want you to trouble me
I wanted you turning down
I want you to agree with me
I want so much so bad
[chorus]
Come on and lay it down
Ive always been with you
Here and now
Give all thats within you
Be my savior
And Ill be your downfall
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Yeah, be my savior
(only love can save us now)
(dont lay me down)
(only love can save us now)
Ill be your downfall (Ill be your downfall)
(ah, love can save us now)
(dont save me now)
Lay it down
Ive always been with you
Hear me now
With all thats within you
Be my savior
And Ill be your downfall
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Now Im back on my own
Hear my feet, theyre made of stone
Man, I make you go where I go
Well hell, you, can I take you home
Well, Im coming home on my back
Kissing me, your lips painted black
Saying oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Let me be your downfall
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Let me be your downfall, baby

Your rivals
The downfall is experienced
By the one with humiliation.
The downfall is witnessed
By others with satisfaction.
The rising is experienced
By the one with exhilaration.
The rising is witnessed
By others with reservation.
Others all are your rivals.

Cruel Trick
why does life
play cruel tricks
on the unexpecting?
life is like an enemy
planning our downfall.
its like someone
trying to kill
all our hopes
and our dreams.

Tied to Anguish and Defeat
Following close in isolated disagreement,
With every hidden creep that's ever crept...
Eyes kept focused like a trap device.
Observing a downfall in regret.
A downfall met not meant to be...
Steamrolled and heated,
On the banks of shores where fantasies are born.
And protests of empty nesters scream,
'This is not out dream! '
But whose dream was it...
To accumulate with good credit?
And debts they are forced to repay?
Debts tied to anguish and defeat!

The Medium
Rays blind,
As I surface on celestial sands
Speaking in different tongues,
I think that this could be heaven
Darkness shines,
As I climb on gossamer hilltops
Singing in different pitches,
I think that this could be utopia
Frigidness implodes,
As I turn on past rage
Staring in different obsessions,
I think that this could be a downfall
Plague explodes
As I forget on life's importance
Stabbing in different wavelengths,
I think that this could be hell
But what is life, without the satanic or exultant?
What is life lacking that deplorable solvent? d—d
The taste of vengeance and the pang of guilt
There is no life between the extremes
For in the end,
Life becomes the medium of our wildest dreams

Sonnet: Man’s Downhill Course!
When pride engulfs a human mind and heart,
And selfishness is prime motive that goads,
And telling lies becomes life’s innate part,
A man is already on marshy roads!
When ambition in life surpasses well
All duties and responsibilities,
His dignity, a man begins to sell
And multiplies his life’s iniquities!
When man begins to feel that he is great,
And cannot recognize his brethren’s call,
His glory has begun to attenuate:
His graph of fame plummets before downfall!
No longer can one call that man a man;
Awaste has gone his entire life’s span!

Noble life demands a noble architecture for noble uses of noble men. Lack of culture means what it has always meant: ignoble civilization and therefore imminent downfall.

Today is the day
Today is the day I've waited for
I can't wait no more.
I just cannot stay.
So today is the day.
The die that I die
For tonight I'll take my life
I'll probably use a knife
To end my life.
I cannot stand
For I guess a good life was to much to demand
I cann't Handle pressure and pain.
For I am sure to go insane.
Im already mad.
All I no is bad.
For I can't stay sane
And Now all I see is red
Things will get better once I am dead
I am going to Die
So I say Goodbye
I take these pills in my hand
For I guess a good life was way to much to demand
But suicide will end it all
For not listening is my downfall
I take the pills in groups of ten
As I lie down I think of Life
I think I should use a knife
It will get better
as I sign my letter
With crimson blood.
One Slash of the knife
And I robbed myself of my life.
But the life I had was no good.
It was within a shitty hood

He who is too sure of himself and acts without thinking is heading for his downfall.
My nemesis - my downfall, if you will - was relationships, and trying to fulfill them.

On Life's Road
am a wreck on life's road
a train crash in a subway
permently stuck in my own
downfall destruction of a new era
a solo era in which my heart is
as cold as ice frozen off from
emotion and the effects of tears
damn i loss track of the road
i see clearly but yet am blind
creeple but yet i walk as i move on
day but day i walk along this path
lost as a child with out the parents
no one to save me as i sit in solitude
looking at the stranger in the mirror
as life goes on without me
