Dominion

Against the velvet backdrop of infinity, majesty beyond effulgence’ grasp-- it stands to intermit the boundless void, an orb of sapphire blue--resolute, in disregard of eons passing, it withstands. Now from cherished land arising, thunderous noise, mingled with coruscant light--flames and smoke of war. Weapons sold for profit, not to women but to men and boys, whose errant thought is lust for power, wealth and fleeting majesty. In ages past was written of our dominion over things above and unsullied ground beneath our feet. Unwritten but implied, forgotten duty to act on behalf of earth. Our failure this, we set ourselves before the world. Better should dominion over self prevail.
