Rest Ever
She was the white horse of the Himalayas
Purity Smolder of flameless skies
Then, chains of conquest -
A half-century of human Inhibition
The Neophyte's arrogance of consumption
Would Flounder to stain and slay the wind
Her Dolorous pinnacle lies, littered with
Debris dense Lecherous ego
Immaculate essence siphoned
In the name of
Vainglorious Bombast
For sanctity, for healing, for reverence
Let Everest rest, in Providence.
