Few receive such numerous starts

Made beyond an answered query

Life indulges as if weary

Gaining pleasure from idle things

Spirits flee as spat on thrice

Chaos gorged, leaves no clarity

The blurred victims receive vague charity

Calling upon an ancient virtue

Hosting vigor and fiery blaze

Integrity turns and firmly stays

Grace returns as sheathing success

Tonight’s agony will harm much less
