Prometheus |
The exhortations of traditionalism ring hollow: the echoing footsteps of |
cross-bearing martyrs, the rejection of free will, the inability to meet the |
challenge of critical thought and individualism. |
Heads bowed and eyes closed to the joys of today. |
Three things only do slaves require: work, food, and their religion. |
Those callous-kneed ringer-kissers. |
The eyes of providence are blinded to the suffering that surrounds. |
True compassion is drowned by the baying and shuffle of the flock, |
bleating through a self-constructed hell. |
The fire in your heart is out. |
That once blazing light wreathed in the gloom of depravity, that unwavering |
standard to rally behind, that intellectual harvest--it's now barren and wasted, |
strangled by weeds of complacency, frozen and bloodless in passion’s tomb. |
I must escape sentimentality; |
clear away these dusty, maudlin affections; |
turn my back on the corpse of the past; |
learn to accept the death of ideals. |
Everything has changed. |
Nothing has changed* |
