Dare ye travel 'pon the road of evil? <br />For ignorance lies not above excuse <br />As time surely devours all things <br />Remainders of past, thy footprints refuse <br /> <br />Yearning aloof, for the mud unholy <br />A temptress that shall ne'er wholly die <br />Wicked is she who cradles thine heart <br />With contorted hands, so skillfully wry <br /> <br />My Nemesis, goddess of punishment <br />Whom I hate to love, love to hate <br />Place no reliance upon my flesh <br />Behold a beauty without mercy, naked bait <br /> <br />Experiment made of useless body <br />Tragically tossed to water, yet does not sink <br />Aimlessly floating the sea of Poseidon <br />Weakened body replenishes with drink <br /> <br />Liquid fortress of fortune, a sign <br />Breathe not of envy or ill will <br />Condemn me not, all lost save honor <br />Abreast the Greater Glory, immortal still <br /> <br /> <br />Copy Right 2009 W.
