When you've lived forever,

what else is there to see?

Immortal seems an awfully

boring thing to be.

-

When the world is conquered

there's nothing left to do.

Except to handle paperwork and armies,

and the occasional bout of flu.

-

You have all the money,

but now what's it worth?

It has no value to anyone else

left on Earth.

-

Then you've killed every enemy,

Now what about your friends?
You left them there in the dust

And it seems you've set a trend.

-

You been there and seen it all,

now what is there to see?

Immortality is unwanted.

Or, at least it is for me.
