An Eternity - A Reasonable Voice

Forgetting the grittiest,
Most dedicated displays,
The fattening of goals shower us
With their vaunted glamour...

The passing era portends
How the mitts of consciousness
Will be escaped altogether...

The calendar does not fail,
Nor does it afford the limit prescribed
By welcome business
And economic strategists -

Lying about the saltiness
Of disorderly distress
Shall never replace the vehemence
Of interminable will;

Without the justice of scientific ventures
Placing concern and poise
In their contented scepter,

The visible respect will be owed
Through the grafting
Of vociferous and time-tested wills.
