Promised were we the endless by this end;
An entrance
                           awaited in feints of strength.
This dying beast, in its stead provided - 
Stands the replacement but poor recompense.
                            
                           Bound without the sacred perimeter,
Where Man sells his
                           soul to purchase his share;
Minus vision, remains future unseen - 
Could never their gods close my eyes for prayer.
                            
                           Taught, the ancient lesson of truth; disguised
By learnéd
                           men, whom logic's notions flee.
Safe lie the saints in knowledge fictious - 
"Possess we all, via death," they decree.
                            
                           Our descent but in need of remembrance - 
Visited have
                           we, before dawn, the tomb;
Distempered in age by misplotted years - 
Devoid of arrangement witnessed in-womb.
