Back to zero

I was an ordinary man
but somewhere along the line
my status was elevated
w/o my knowledge

As far I’m concerned
November was a long time ago
though long before anyone
had the authority to make me a god

I thought I was stuck
in the 21st Century
but somehow all the clocks
tumbled back to zero

Upon awakening
all alone in the desert
I heard rumblings underneath
resembling war drums
like the ones that once ruled
so-called civilizations
