The Epilogue

A flash of light,
Yes, in her eyes
Was the only gesture
Of a sign in the first
Adam when he met her. 
Time of his manhood
Glows like moonbeam
That coy the sun. 
There was terrible toil, 
For he feed his flesh
So as to live them. 
Like spartan and trojans, 
His aspiration is mediocracy
In his time. 
The passing weight of time
Knows the counsel of the gods. 
Those longing days
Reverberate the mind. 
The philosophy of life
Is epicurious enigmatic. 
Women became men. 
Men became gods. 
Power authorized at the apex
Of Mt. Olympus. 
Laws break down
At Mt. Sanai. 
Crimes diverse pragmatically
Into open doors and design porticos. 
Victory a dust of brilliant
Loophole minds, 
Was a competition at all.
