Poem Title:
Poem
The hour matters none ... for the energies have exhausted. In the year of our Lord ... nineteen hundred and twelve, April fifteenth. Writes a future living star ... wish their joys so he may shine. 'Tis to be a deliberate endeavor ... they call life. An unaccountable ledger of sums ... know he the worth of it. For in that great beyond is an opened book ... ere his youth. There'd be certain measures that wretched body ... once unmasked. Natures of a retired validity ... that aloof vainglory. Tarries an elusive shell ... the semblance of human sorts. A cub sponged in denizens hound ... the spoils of settled earth. Masques of the poor scores yon ... and indifference spared them from their kind. Their pain slices him whole ... in this grand finale of truth. The role he crawl from under ... frees a den's claimed orphaned cub. He conformed to their ways ... indulgence begets an awakening. De-sands a timepiece from Giza ... transforms the silent lamb. Qualities of Osiris ... no longer foxes kinsman. Without manipulative truth ... mainly defines reality. Loss crept e'er so close ... as circumstances affront him now. The iniquities ... recorded in that hallowed ledger, He lay claim to its authenticity ... 'twas him who'd inflicted; upon those who were of wickedness ... and the righteous few. He included self ... in self-afflictions of great numbers, wherever the blame may lie ... be it concerning his existence, thereupon points those sharpened fingers ... deserving of it. Repentance for his sins ... subjugated through crying eyes. His life for another ... sans a name or a face in lieu of tears. They shared the deafening silence ... two muted distinct smiles. One in tears looked onward ... to a face of blessed assurance. The last boat edges off into the dark ... desperation arose. A great clamoring ascends ... into the bitter abyss. The hymn, "Nearer My God to Thee," ... the chaos stops to song. Ships officer calls out, ... "Abandon ship, every man for themselves." Lost lamb hopes his roll's called up yonder ... as his last words read ...
