verdict
“Hypocrisy can plunge the mind of a man into a dark abyss,
when he believes his own self-flattery instead of God's
verdict.”―John Calvin
the edicts of the land declare
the verdicts of the wind
the fury of the mind acquits
the jury halt and blind
the swift appeal bears barren fruit
the gift of conscience ruined
no justice for the broken reed
armistice wars monsooned
tomorrow is a rotten bet
to borrow from the lie
no pity for the fool who seeks
a city in the sky
no arguments against the rule
no monuments to peace
no recompense for reckless pride
no common sense increase
