To leap without look
For sacrifice brooks
No moment for mere self-concern
When will we learn?
To fall full of doubts
Uncertain our shouts
Of fear and of hope will be heard
To do the absurd
Unimpeded, unbarred
Our vision unmarred
By consequence and death
Just the frost of our breath
As the chill of unknown
Floods our bones
Comfort damning our souls
As it fills them with holes
That our stored fat can't easily fill
We do what we will
Ignoring, in pride
The quieting murmur of life deep inside
That asks "is this it?"
When our only remit
Is increasing our gluttonous hoard
Dying fat, lazy and bored
In comfort and tedium
Our lives, the medium
For gaining an eternal dark
For sacrifice is a spark
That we now live without
Impotent for all of our clout.
