Eternal postmoderism

The rule of the self is exalted above any adherence to any thing/feeling. Their notions of doubt ruling over existence and is in the supreme station of reason and power. It sheds the former existence of yesterday inasmuch as we are always recreated. The philosopher's stone which can conceive of no other thought except the originality of the self. It drinks the seven seas as if a drop and asks, "Is there yet any more?" No authority save the intimate friend can find its way here. Every stranger is betrayed and its chariot becomes outworn for the rider. And when they look at themselves they behold their powerlessness in the face of every nation, which simply makes them embark on the conquest of their own heart. Every listener is as a bullet to their enemy. Every truth is as a fallen warrior for their Cause. No wind is sufficient to curtail their sense of direction. Every human acknowledged is as a piece of sand supporting their path. There is no end to their perturbing of the skies. The poem is unfinished as the scribe of their tale is astounded by the regeneration of their march.
