The Honorables May Now Rise

The sum of human glory, the greatness of humanity

is that a human can, on individuation

sometimes evolve into a perspective

that perceives humanity as the sickness it is

and forms a grave loathing toward this form of being

that could have become something on its own

but refused

Even those angelic humans

who have faith in providence

and thus have with them

the promise of an afterlife

Even they shied away

from the responsibility

and rather remained subordinate

and satellite

to animal inconsistence

monstrous in the center

Or is it that they

like the rest of us

are by natural law forbidden,

perhaps programmed

not to surpass this,

our nature

and put to leash the beast's

appetites,

greed and complacency

that live in us

like a persistent never

in the place of what could have been?

Such a being is doomed

to be what it is,

to know itself and

exist unaltered

until the world buries it.

Ye, that judge

– the honorables –

may now rise

and create a verdict

out of your example.

The beast will then take its stand

in ovation

and step down

in awe of ideas

composition of which

resonates with all of the world

or resume with you

the tortured hunt

for ever evading

satisfaction.
