In ill wit I find this life unfit, Bequest of melancholy I admire, For all left of us is dire, A folks tale we learn to admire, Akin to the play that plays in my mind, Even with me as my possession,With my soul I hold no rhyme Thus, as realities prisoner I do not wish to retire, The earth retraces it's history in satire, Gods creativity I admire, But confined to this rugged terrain I contrive, An illness has warmed me and now in its grasp I lie, An illness to betray that of which I find noble, So now I grieve a lesson I don't want to learn.
