here's something i'm still working on:
as briar swept the monstrous vision lay
in tomb of dreadful evidence and mourn,
the turbid strewth annuls the sacred day
that confidence had given it to scorn
the paean of tomorrow sounds as 'fore
of ancient vice and virtue strained to stand,
regaled the fervent bloodline evermore
that sealed away the haunted state of man
what ever field the day the plan upstole
too many victories, disaster fled
the prying heap, to the jew sold
a heaven thus disaster stained
i am today as i have always been
feeble sentences kept, a midnight hour
a liar's alms, drink to this sin
give unto all that is not ours
subtle penances earn the taskless plight
of squandered pleas, and victimless despair
a liar's qualms, befit the right
to see the ample vision's share
scuttled ploys then trade forgotten wonders
for demagogy, demon's bane befell
reason's station, silent treason
a bulwark for the coming hell
when folly wrecks wit, nature's wrath
the world bestrides, who wrought
this perfunctory sigh, this lesser half?
the word you spoke, and the one i sought
the word which dances in the palm
that makes the miscreant adhere
is cruel to teach, a privilege to absolve
i tell you this, for i forget the year
father of invention, reckoner of the way
time pass... college of eternity, no
new struggles befit thee, save the day
that came the revolution, in 'twenty fo
no savior's light flits there
'neath the shipwreck'd mountain's dew
where the clock don't strike, not here
in this diurnal slumber, saith the lord,
nothing is new
