What profane allegory
consensus signing faith
the buckler ogliarchy
so masters with sedate.
My trust from intertwining
does register as hate
the cost of life's defining
is acrimony's state.
So leadership, from this the spell
resolves my hopes abate
while following is mustered
like alimony ~ late!
So married to divining
could be the only wait
as hell bespeaks, confining
my courage of relate!
Inaptitudes refining
the mast exaggerate
to change the world's designing,
I must of self, be fate!
And hold the victor, signing
my cause not underrate
tomorrow's hope consigning
this daily undertake!
