and this is what shall come to pass.
a new precept for the world to adopt.
and this is what the children shall learn...
prepare for the lowest standard.
rough diamonds in the palms of fools
unable to give the crucial gift of reason.
the unwise teaching wisdom.
the absurd defining priority.
fools, unable to give the crucial gift of reason.
what more can be expected of a child,
being a product of the stark worst -
its fathers blood.

make no mistake.
the ascendants,

down the random path of chance.
godspeed.

against the wind,
under the misguiding light of faulty beacons.
set sail,
against the wind,
with vices for virtues,
dishonor for ethics,
and excess for etiquette,

ignorant of it's weight.
blind to it's worth.

is nothing but a burden.
this burden is a life
this burden is a child.
men without dedication
speaking of truth and loyalty.
women without conviction
teaching respect and compassion.
no.
and what of the children...
