"Now is the time when the names and fortunes of heroes are made, rarely does one hear of great heroes in times of prosperity, but the greatest of heroes are remembered from the times of misfortune." Marcus Sulerus (from the Rat of the House of Fastus)


So as the sun set down in the west
I had given it my best
That fire with which I had fought
was almost gone, turned to naught

So what was I to do?
So void of clothes and shoes
I walked out into the pouring rain
To sing, sing out loud again

The lamps shone bright
far out into the cold, dark night
Giving me distance to my sight
And illuminating my plight.

So what you say is the point of this?
This dribble, useless stream of mess?
I do not know, lost and so alone
I am going to find my way home.

I'm not entirely sure where this piece originated, but I happen to like it now, it is concise and to the point but at the same time being incredibly vague.
