Blind thine eyes to riches and wealth
focus on that which enriches thy health
for money is not what a man shall inherit
but rather the manners, the master craft of merit

Afore the storm of fractals wave,
Spinning alone beyond Colour’s grave;
For Black hath begun and Black hath began,
Every shade dull as the desert sand.
Until a light hath shone upon Nature’s back—
The Storm in formation is also Black;
A shame to the Senses where Cinnabar formed,
The Kaleidoscope shifting as Red is the lore;
Deep as the blood-pulse the colour runs rampant,
Rage and the Pain—and the Gain of the second—
Dulling away to a crimson swirl—
Red is the bloom of a putrid boil.
Till nary a tick is left to turn,
The Cylinder stops and the Eye is burned;
Not torn into sheets by geometric bustle,
Red bleeds to Black—the Void is a puzzle.
Black bleeds to Green—Nature’s emerald sheen,
Verdant growth rising—the Kaleidoscope seen.
Shifting of pieces paints a Viridian world,
The Earth but a canvas in rotational swirl.
For Beryl-streaks bleed betwixt geometric shapes,
With every flinch comes a gamble of Faith;
Till Darkness descends and the Green is struck mute,
Shadows collapse and the Memory is moot.
As the Great Mother claims the finality of turn,
Green bleeds to Black and the Nature-dream burns,
Replaced by the haunting of nightmare-glare,
Absent the Sun and the radiant air.
Azure-streaks wroth in the oceanic seas,
White-capped froth for the stimulating need;
Cerulean angels in Pythagorean angles,
A tangle betwixt the celestial metals
Which shine a cold Blue upon yonder shores,
Where every spin wheels the lines to adore.
A Lapis crown fading away to the Void,
Black again beckoning—the Spirit annoyed;
Cobalt-blued steel fading into the fray,
Blue bleeds to Black at the end of the day.
The Great Mother welding the Kaleidoscope scope—
Emptiness offering Her the only hope.
Gilded Ochre—a cemented facade,
The Yellow of Sun but a flickering nod
To the Day that is brighter than hollows of Night;
Saffron-gold bangles dangle in sight.
For bright is the colour that lights all below,
Brass-beams trimming the seams for the flow.
Beyond the light of the morning’s first rise,
A Sallow Centaur, godly in size;
As clouds begin filling the Firmament,
The lurid glare clicks in a simple contentment.
As Amber fills up the darkening horizon,
Yellow bleeds to Black on the back of a Diamond,
Whose facets shift with the weight of the Sin;
The Kaleidoscope echoes again and again.
Tyrian dyes stain the Emperor’s descent,
Imperial Purples dance with confident intent;
Where Power doth bask in a heritage pure,
Ametrine dreams highlight the cure.
A destiny deemed fully replete,
The colour of Gods—their honour to meet;
As the gears rotate and the moment shifts—
Once to a Caesar the Senate-grip slips.
Where Vitreous glass begins filling the senses,
Heliotropic visions form the Violet image;
As Purple bleeds Black and the Void is in sight,
An emptiness rivaling the blackest of Night.
Brought back to Center as the Cylinder clicks:
A Kaleidoscope of Power—every colour to mix.
