Dementia Pathos

Dementia Pathos

Dementia demi

Spins over the orb,

Remembrance claiming

Through chaos of drops

Through windfuls of tempests,

Through fires of strikes:

Beware you, tenets,

Heaps stinking of rugs!..

Memorial mori –

Life stone creates

To chisel your warrant,

To put in your blade,

To make Hero’s stature

And earn holy Right:

For Legend to cure

Souls seeking their light!..

Let statues and temples

Be crushed and restored –

And grandsons of vandals

Their essence adore:

Dementio-cratos

In auto-start –

Rebirth its new pathos,

Frankincense and nard!..
