Across the wastes he travels solemn
Seldom resting
But never sleeping
He has a mind but it is forgotten
Always questing
And often weeping
He cannot find the thing he seeks
Cannot remember
And doesn't care
The vultures of dementia shriek
Wait to dismember
Rip and tear
Do not feel pity for wayward souls
They've earned their plight
(Some enjoy it)
