everything becomes mercurial,
across the land tempers rage,
the king has made his declaration,
subject only to the gods of the land;
for when you fail to truly educate,
the mind absorbs whate'er it will,
discerning between intent and action,
is necessary for reaction or circumspection;
but here we are,
yet again, at the familiar crossroads,
to the right or to take a left about-face,
to kick evil in the rear or kiss the devil.
