Long before daybreak
With eyelids so heavy
Beseeching, let me sleep!
Never-ending, indefatigable thoughts
In waves, each more belligerent
Than its foregone,
Sang of tempestuous oceans
Of Winters of long-lasting darkness.
A bewail
- of bleakness -
For souls convoluted amongst alb foam.
To frank such thoughts
Dry them underneath moonlight
Obviate nefarious whims.
To coerce the ways of rational kin,
Eradicate rapt, impetuous
Combustions fired by
The cholera of heathens.
With herb and candle, enthrall,
With hammer and anvil, fashion!
Worming out the Eye of Dystopia
I wage war,
Quill in shivering fingers
- si vis pacem
para bellum.

With herb and candle, enthrall,
With hammer and anvil, fashion!
Worming out the Eye of Dystopia
I wage war,
Quill in shivering fingers
