Not Again

Not again shall I fall a victim of folly,

Or again allow my heart be melancholy.

I shall let loose my fancy roam unroped,

And my dreams wander unstopped.

 

Ideas shall rule my mind,

And all I have shall respite find

In the autonomous flow of ease,

Till I slumber in eternal bliss.

 

Never again shall I follow the dictum of demagogues,

Nor be counseled by empty anecdotes of conceited pedagogues;

I shall let all slither free,

And all ordained to be shall be.
