The cause is ozymandias.
The (?) continent
Is sanded and bevelled,
The land lone and levelled
By some unrecorded and powerful hand
Which plays along the monument
And drums upon a plastic pan.
The brave men and women so dear to god
And famous to all of the ages ran.
Sang:
"do you love me?
Will you remember?"
The snow falls above me.
Around the hand, the rerounders.
The event is in the hand of god.
Beneath a patch of grass, her
Bones the old dutch master hid.
Well, i swear tobias
And the angel disguise
What the scholars surmise was a mother and kid.
Interred with other daughters,
In dirt in other potters' fields
Above them, parades
Mark the passing of days
Through parks where pale colonnades arch in marble and steel,
Where all of the twenty-thousand attending your foot fall
And the causes they died for are lost in the idling bird calls,
And the records they left are cryptic at best,
Lost in obsolescence.
The text will not yield, nor x-ray reveal
With any fluorescence
Where the hand of the master begins and ends.
I fell, i tried to do well but i won't be.
Go tell the one that i love to remember and hold me.
I call, i call for the doctor
But the snow swallows me whole with (?)
And the event lives only in print.
He said:
"it's alright,"
And "it's all over now,"
And boarded the plane,
His belt unfastened;
The boy was known to show unusual daring.
And, called a “boy”,
This older man, confounding tammany hall,
In whose employ king tamanend himself preceeded john’s fall.
So we all raise a standard
To which the wise and honest so may repair,
To which a hunter,
A hundred years from now, may look and despair
And see with wonder
The tributes we have left to rust in the parks,
Swearing that our hair stood on end
To see john purroy mitchel depart
For the western front where work might count.
O mercy! o god! god,
I will the hunter to decipher the stone,
And what lies under the city is done.
So look and despair.
Look and despair.
