The Broken Bridge of Death

Bask not in the delusional orgy
Embedded in the barren attempt
To pull wool over the eyes
Of the uninitiated

True, we did fear, fret and flex
Nuzzling in a banquet of uncertainty;
Obliging death brazen vanity

The intercessor, in intercession,
broke his service
Forcing a tie break
To a binge of birth, death,
Rebirth and death;
By plunging into quietus

We, made in his image,
Did hug the great divide with him
When he revified,
We riposted with him

From dust we ensued,
To dust, we must retire
