The world is not sufficiently in
order, However much one wishes it were so. Eros is sincere but rarely loyal, Yearning for a joy that cannot be, Even as I cleave to my design. All I want and do is by design, Reducing what might sing to what might be, Offering the hope that, if I'm loyal, Fortune will be fair, and what I sow Today I'll reap in proper order. Heroes are the sentinels of order, Ever vigilant to live just so: Dependable, consistent, honest, loyal Overseers of what ought to be, Given the chaos deep in the design. |
