constantly confessing sins       never knowing forgiveness like a man with a book       but unable to read or a fool hoarding gold       and dying from hunger enslaved to the pride of life        the measure of men of winning and success       compelled to boast the works of one's arms       flaunting wit, or foolishness but oblivious to the exposure       of their nakedness and vulgarity of pain and confusion       of faith in their strength and wit of the Mark of Man       on their arms and foreheads believing by strength of will       what is given and not by works the soul betraying the flesh       in double mindedness and hypocrisy seduced by free will       but enslaved to another's will but the further apart,       the more fervent to execute the command       to impose commands on their neighbours        when the only command is love by the measure they measure       they are measured for they have become       the enemy they condemned and judgement is just       for evil judges evil

The Number of Man
constantly confessing sins       never knowing forgiveness like a man with a book       but unable to read or a fool hoarding gold       and dying from hunger enslaved to the pride of life        the measure of men of winning and success       compelled to boast the works of one's arms       flaunting wit, or foolishness but oblivious to the exposure       of their nakedness and vulgarity of pain and confusion       of faith in their strength and wit of the Mark of Man       on their arms and foreheads believing by strength of will       what is given and not by works the soul betraying the flesh       in double mindedness and hypocrisy seduced by free will       but enslaved to another's will but the further apart,       the more fervent to execute the command       to impose commands on their neighbours        when the only command is love by the measure they measure       they are measured for they have become       the enemy they condemned and judgement is just       for evil judges evil
