Poem
And the thunders thundered and the rains rained, the waves crashed upon the shores, and the winds could not blow the Dragon to the heavens, and the seasons marched on. And the people became afraid to enjoy the warmth of the sun and seek romance under the moon, and the people asked, why has the Head of Days become so dark, and the people asked, why does the Lord of Night who walks among us shine so brightly. And those with ears took their guidance from Hermes, and the vexed demanded sovereignty of themselves, and rulers in the West had two faces for all to see, for it was a time of self righteousness, for many showed their cleanliness, and made public their virtue. The cautious hid behind veils, and judgement's were cast in the market places, and brothers became strangers to their sisters, and mothers and fathers heeded not each others council. Babylon had risen again and confused the peoples again, and it came to pass that laws were spoken into power, and the deaf and blind multiplied thereof, and the Dragon exhaled a much more fiercer breath. While the humble serfs made daily bread for all to eat, and those with wagons continued their journeys, and the merchants found new ways to collect gold, and the town criers spoke learned truths to their followers, and heard as lies from others, and many truths and lies were spoken and heard, and sanity and insanity whirled like a dervish. And the houses of Babylon crumbled with bedlam, and the prophets in the town squares cried Apocalypto and caused those with cautious ears to shepherd their children, the belly of the Dragon knew not satiety, for its hunger was never satisfied, nor was its thirst fully quenched. And the potion makers sought the wisest alchemists, and the potion makers concocted elixirs, while those with closed eyes ran like blind sheep into crevices and over mighty cliffs, and for those with open ears, they listened to the wisdom of the sages, and the Man in Rome could not seek clemency from his Master, for it was felt by many that the Lord of Spirits was powerless against the Dragon, and some said he was the terrible breath of the dreadful Dragon.
