For how long do you think this erectness will last?
someday, you'll wither away, i am sure.

For how long do you think, they'll respect you?
someday they would stop pretense, i am sure.

For how long do you think, people will bow?
someday they will dare to stand up, i am sure.

For how long do you think, you'll think you are the greatest?
someday, someone greater will come along, i am sure.

For how long do you think, they'll be patient?
someday, their patience will end, i am sure.

For how long do you think, I will just WRITE my stress out?
someday, i will shout it out too, i am sure.

For how long do you think, i will be able to live with you?
someday, i'll leave, either this house or my body, i am sure.

But what i ain't sure is whether you'll realize THEN..
or continue to be that Ozymandias, of that, I AIN'T SURE.
