Glory Is Nothing But A Name

what is glory
but a name
cast in iron chains
you wear
nothing but
this black veil
over your
sweet smile
a nightingale
outside of that
free to
fill this
humble blue sky
with your
sweet wings
sing aloud
with resonance
ring the bells of
earth and heaven
hear the colossal roaring of this crowd
and
thus, somehow
sweet glory is
nothing but a name
