Journeys leap from pages of old
Eloquent  exchanges gilded in gold
Breathe out over distant lands
This new world entices languishing  souls
Pay penance to wisdom for God and country
Punish people with dalliance, a solemn requiem
Story are told from those on high
We open are mouths; a soiled demise
Relinquish a heart from strained etiquette
Vile  contempt pushed thru bowels
Vision evaporate beyond folly and frame
Lingering solace wane towards the abyss
Vengeance will tether; the ball and the chain
