A Worthy Scorn

A Worthy Scorn

When rise to power last the gain
A fallen arch of mystics await
Frozen through time the memorial
Of a disguise breathes fire
And drinks the mud of brethren

Teachings made a believer see
What comforts land as strength be
Policies determinate to deceive
What watchers of the cattle saw
A scepter of shone light
To a streak across the sky
Made in promises to arrive

Under what had came to make true
Lay barren and dry, the calloused
Of mornings that grew into nights
Freeing the born to a world adorned
By the riches of the worth of scorn
