Return To Dust
Crass ignorance doth propel my heart to anguish,
Why have thou forsaken me?,
Is it just for my pithy pleading to wither in the valley of the damned,
Shall I be cursed to my geography and mine parents whims,
What insolence has mine cretin thoughts winnowed with these allusions to Science,
Pray for me Providence for the hour of my reckoning draws nearer,
Mine blackened heart I give up wholly to you,
Do with it as you must, as One is Born , One must return to Dust.
