"24 Years" By Albert Falgout III

Would you give your soul

For all the knowledge in the world

And in twenty four years, you'd be dragged down

With the killers and the thieves

 -Mephistopheles

Give me the power that i need

Daedalus

Bring me the feathers and the wax

Because the sun can't burn brighter than hell does-

Theology means nothing to me

I’ll try my mind to become a deity

And I know my arrogance will

Consume my pride

But we all die everlasting deaths

For pleasant fruits and princely delicates

Bio By Albert: My name's Albert Falgout III, I'm twenty years old and currently attending the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.I'm a Sophomore, but next semester I'll be a Junior. I'm an English major, studying with the aspiration to become a professor (literary studies specialization). I am a member of the honors frat Sigma Alpha Lambda. I'm a thespian, and through high school performed in many plays, my biggest role being Atticus Finch. This ties into the fact that I would like to teach speech as well, as I learned that proper articulation is crucial in more places than just the stage. I do a lot of writing for my classes and for myself, but I have been interested in getting work published for awhile now. I just haven't found the medium for it yet. My English professor suggested that I submit my poem to the SWR Blog , and I thought that would be a good idea.
