eRepublik: A Retrospective in Verse

I did that thing yesterday..
It was that thing which I used to say
Was the last thing I'd ever do in any way.

But Lady Curiosity took hold of me.
She whispered in my ear...."Chutley."
That Lady said, "Do you remember yourself by that name?
That name through which you acquired some silly efame?"

"Do you remember when you used to write?
When everyone else was concerned with what was left and wrong, but not what was right?"

"Chutley," said that unwelcome Curiosity,
"Do you remember how obsessed they all were with that one country?
How much you had to see the word, the place: Turkey?"

I responded quick, as quick as a cat.
I rejoine😛 "Yes, I remember a bit of that.
I remember meta-this and meta-that."
I remembered and then
I sat. I sat. I sat.

At this point there was but one thing that I could do.
To tell the truth I thought of you.
I thought of congress and Romper and Federalists too.
I thought of articles and people and that Phoenix Quinn.
I drew deep breaths, sat up, and typed in my log-in.

As soon as I hit that first homepage, I recalled some other type of rage. What was this feeling that afflicted me so? Ah yes, 'twas that surly curmudgeon Plato.

That name, that name, that name.
Oh how I used to use it to flame.
I pondered until soon a cool night came.
With stars above and wind that blew tame.
I thought, "but wait, wasn't this a game?"

I must confess I have no idea
What goes on at all around here.
But now I must pose a question before I start drinking,
Is there any use for Primitive Thinking?

If indeed there are still fights
(And now I see there's war in flight)
I need someone to tell me true:
On this site what can you do

To make this at all fun again.
In all honesty, I need all of you to see
For me leaving is not if, it's when.
